The 2 Biggest Winning Florida Lottery Tickets Sold In 2024

Author Babs

We are already in the month of September and I have not hit the Florida lottery yet. You know what’s funny? At the beginning of this year I wrote, “I will win the lottery before the end of the year” on my vision board but unfortunately I have not gotten lucky playing here in St. Petersburg yet. There is however still hope because there are a couple of months left. A congratulations is however in order for all of the residents who have won this year in Florida! Below are the 2 biggest winning Florida lottery tickets sold in 2024!

$214M Winning Powerball Ticket Sold In Florida

According to the Florida Lottery website, someone in Miami Shores won $214M by purchasing a Powerball ticket. Reports tell us that the ticket was sold at a Publix located at 9050 Biscayne Boulevard. The winning numbers were 7–23–24–56–60, and the Powerball number was 25. As of now nobody has stepped forward to claim that money yet. I totally understand, they are probably trying to get their affairs in order. Im hoping it’s that, and not that someone has lost the ticket. Or they threw the ticket away not knowing that they won.

$20.5M Winning Lottery Ticket Sold In Florida

Someone in Kissimmee purchased a lottery ticket worth $20.5M! They won after purchasing a Florida Lotto ticket from a Murphy USA gas station located at 3256 Vineland Road. The winning numbers drawn were 10,11,14,17,39 ad 49. This winner actually chose these numbers themselves and bypassed the quick pick option. According to the Florida Lottery website, the winner has not come forward yet.

9 Florida Publix Stores That Have Sold Top Winning Lottery Prizes

Who couldn’t use an extra million dollars these days? It’s a running joke that Florida has some of the best odds when it comes to playing the lottery. It goes even further when you realize how many Publix stores sell top-winning lottery prizes. Obviously, it couldn’t be any more than a coincidence but we decided to deep-dive into some of the top winning prizes sold in Publix stores. A few are even in the Tampa Bay area!

A lot of games in this list still have top prizes available! So if you’re feeling lucky head to your nearest Publix to grab a ticket. It’s important to know all the scratch-off games that have top prizes available. That way you won’t waste your money or time. You can always check on the Florida Lottery website.

With any lottery win, the store that sells the winning ticket receives a bonus. We can only imagine how much Publix has been rewarded over the years. Other common stores that we noticed sell a lot of winning tickets are 7-Eleven, Circle K, and Winn Dixie. Maybe spread your luck and buy a ticket from each store.

It’s been said by experts that if you win the lottery keep your mouth shut. This depends on how much money you end up winning. But if you’re lucky enough to win a top prize, it’s recommended to surround yourself with lawyers and financial advisors. If you’re quick to broadcast your winnings, you could put your life in danger.

What would you spend your winnings on if you ever won a top prize? We bet a lot of people would pay off their debt or credit card bills. We wouldn’t recommend blowing it on an expensive car or fancy house, because eventually the money will run out and you’ll be stuck paying way more in taxes/maintenance.
