(1) General Provisions.
- (a) Play Period. March 1 – June 30, 2026, dates inclusive, or until 2,000,000 Millionaire Raffle tickets (hereafter “Raffle ticket/s”) have been sold, whichever occurs first.
- (b) Ticket Price and Quantity. A maximum of 2,000,000 Raffle tickets will be available for sale at a price of $20.00 each. Upon the sale of the 2,000,000th Raffle ticket, tickets will no longer be sold.
- (c) Available Prizes. $100; $500; $1,000; $5,000; $10,000; $100,000; and $1,000,000.
(2) Drawing Entry.
- (a) Upon purchase, each Raffle ticket will have a unique number, issued in sequential order, and be entered into the next available Raffle drawing. The Fifth/Final Raffle draw date will be printed on Raffle tickets. Once a player purchases a Raffle ticket, the Raffle ticket will continue to be entered into each drawing that remains following its purchase, in addition to the draw date shown on the Raffle ticket, provided the Raffle ticket is purchased before the fourth drawing has occurred. Both winning and non-winning Raffle tickets will continue to be entered into all remaining drawings. Raffle tickets may be purchased through Lottery terminals or vending machines. Upon the sale of the 2,000,000th Raffle ticket, no additional Raffle tickets will be sold. Should a problem arise concerning the transaction, it is a player's responsibility to seek resolution with the retailer and/or the Florida Lottery prior to leaving the retail or Lottery office location.
- (b) Players shall keep, or may redeem winning Raffle ticket/s, throughout the Play Period. Raffle tickets that are redeemed for payment will produce a continuation Raffle ticket that will automatically be entered into all remaining drawing/s. Raffle tickets, original or original continuation, will be needed for determining if a prize has been won and for redeeming a prize won, if any.
- (c) All Raffle tickets are subject to validation by the Florida Lottery and will be disqualified if validation requirements are not met.
(3) Drawings and Prizes.
- (a) The Florida Lottery will conduct five (5) drawings during the Play Period. Drawings will be held on the dates listed in the tables, below, from Raffle tickets sold by 11:59:59 (ET) on a Drawing Entry Period end date, which would also include all tickets sold during any prior Drawing Entry Period/s. Drawings will be public, held in Tallahassee, Florida, and witnessed by an accountant employed by an independent certified public accounting firm.
- (b) A Raffle ticket will be entered into all drawings that remain following its purchase, whether it’s a winning or non-winning Raffle ticket, and irrespective of the draw date shown on the Raffle ticket. (The drawing date shown on a Raffle ticket is the draw date for the Fifth/Final drawing.)
- (c) As players are not required to register for a drawing, the only evidence of a winning Raffle ticket is an original or original continuation Raffle ticket. Players shall retain their Raffle ticket/s throughout the entire Play Period, as it will be required to show proof of a win and be required to redeem a prize won, if any.

*The odds shown represent an example, and the odds shown are in the event 500,000 Raffle tickets are sold during the first Drawing Entry Period. If fewer than 500,000 Raffle tickets are sold during the first Drawing Entry Period, the odds of winning improve due to a smaller pool from which to draw winners. If more than 500,000 tickets are sold during the first Drawing Entry Period, and in subsequent drawings, the odds of winning decrease due to a greater number of tickets being in the draw pool/s, which include all Raffle tickets from prior Drawing Entry Period/s plus Raffle tickets sold during each respective Drawing Entry Period. The ultimate odds of winning in drawings depend on the number of Raffle tickets sold.
