The Florida Lotto jackpot climbed to $24.5 million for Saturday’s drawing after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday’s game, extending the prize to a 28th rollover. The winning numbers on Saturday, May 16, 2026, were 46-24-4-15-38-48.
The rollover matters because Florida Lotto is now one of the state’s bigger rolling prizes, and the next draw is only days away on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. Players who added Double Play on Saturday saw a separate set of numbers — 11-40-38-42-51-12 — with a chance to win up to $250,000 using the same ticket numbers.
Wednesday’s drawing, held May 13, 2026, produced the 28th rollover after no one matched all six numbers. The winning numbers then were 37-20-15-2-11-46, and the Double Play numbers were 49-16-52-1-38-46. Florida Lotto drawings are held at 11:15 p.m. ET on Wednesdays and Saturdays, including holidays, and the game asks players to pick six numbers from 1 to 53 or buy a Quick Pick ticket with randomly selected numbers.
The jackpot has been climbing since it was last won on Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026, when BJ's Wholesale Club Liquors on South Highway 27 in Clermont, Florida, sold a Quick Pick ticket worth $21.5 million. The prize reset to $1 million on Saturday, Feb. 7, and has rolled over repeatedly since then. The odds of matching all six numbers are 1 in 22,957,480 whether the top prize is $1 million or $36 million, while matching two of six numbers gets a free ticket.
That long stretch without a jackpot winner is part of the game’s design, but it also keeps the stakes high for the next drawing. Florida Lottery prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw, and anyone choosing the single-payment cash option has 60 days from the applicable draw date to claim it. Winners of $250,000 or more are also temporarily exempt from public disclosure for 90 days after the prize is claimed unless they waive that protection.
The next test comes Wednesday night, when the numbers are drawn again and the jackpot either keeps climbing or finally lands with one ticket.
