The Florida Lottery’s Summer EZmatch™ Promotion Begins Today

Temperatures are rising and so are instant cash prize amounts! For a limited time only, Florida Lottery players who add EZmatch to their FANTASY 5®, LUCKY MONEY™ and FLORIDA LOTTO® purchases can instantly win higher cash prizes of up to $1,000.

Beginning today, through Sunday, July 29, 2018, the EZmatch top prize will double from $500 to $1,000 and the second prize from $250 to $500.  EZmatch players will also enjoy an increased minimum prize of $5, up from $2.

For an additional $1 per play, the EZmatch add-on feature gives players of these games the opportunity to win cash prizes instantly. When players add EZmatch to their FANTASY 5, LUCKY MONEY or FLORIDA LOTTO purchase, multiple EZmatch numbers and instant prize amounts will be printed on the ticket. If any of the EZmatch numbers match any of the player’s numbers on the ticket, the player instantly wins the prize amount shown. Players can multiple times on a single ticket.

All EZmatch prizes of less than $600 are redeemable at any Florida Lottery retail location. Prizes of $600 or more must be claimed at a Florida Lottery District Office. If an EZmatch prize is paid by a retailer before the applicable FANTASY 5, LUCKY MONEY, or FLORIDA LOTTO drawing on the ticket has occurred, a continuation ticket will be provided to the player.  EZmatch prizes can be claimed up to 180 days after the first draw date on the ticket.
