The winning ticket came from 3B's Sunoco at 5565 New Tampa Highway in Lakeland. The Quick Pick holder chose the lump sum option worth $3,251,148 instead of taking payments over time, according to TC Palm.
Jackpot Grows Toward $4 Million
After the Aug. 5 winner took their prize, the jackpot reset and has climbed back up. Wednesday's drawing on Aug. 26 features a $4 million top prize. If no one wins, the pot will grow again for Saturday's drawing, according to St. Augustine Record.
Last Major Win Hit on Independence Day
The previous Florida Lotto jackpot winner claimed their prize on July 4, 2026. A ticket purchased at a Publix store in Fort Lauderdale won that $6.75 million drawing, Naples Daily News reported. The Sunoco win followed a few weeks later.
Same Odds Whether Jackpot Is Low or High
Florida players often wonder if odds change with bigger prizes. They don't. Whether the jackpot sits at $1 million or $36 million, your chance of hitting all six numbers remains 1 in 22,957,480, Jacksonville.com noted. Only the prize amount changes, not the likelihood of winning.
