$1.75M Jackpot Prize Claimed By Sarasota Man: FL Lottery

ENGLEWOOD, FL — A Sarasota man claimed a $1.75 million jackpot prize in the Oct. 24, 2023, Jackpot Triple Play drawing held at the Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee, the agency said in a recent news release.

Long chose to receive his winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment totaling just over $1 million.

He purchased his winning Jackpot Triple Play Quick Pick ticket from Dearborn Corner Market at 598 West Dearborn Street in Englewood, Florida Lottery said.

The retailer received a bonus commission of $1,000 for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.

For $1, Jackpot Triple Play players get three chances to win the jackpot, as each ticket comes with three sets of numbers to match with the winning numbers drawn. Players can choose six numbers from 1 to 46 for the first set, and the second set will be randomly Quick Picked.

Jackpots start at $250,000 and can roll over to reach $2 million before rolling down to increase the lower-prize levels in each drawing until the jackpot is won.

Players win by matching three or more numbers from the same set to the winning numbers drawn. They can get an extra chance to win by combining all matches on the ticket by adding Combo for $1 more.

The next drawing will be held Tuesday at 11:15 p.m. ET, with a $1.1 million jackpot.
