Florida Lottery Buzz: Who Will Win Big This Holiday Season?
The holiday season is bringing some serious excitement for lottery fans! A simple $2 Powerball ticket recently turned a Californian into a multimillionaire, and now everyone’s wondering: will Florida see its own big winner?
Powerball’s jackpot hit $2.04 billion, making it the second-largest in history. The Christmas Eve numbers drawn on Wednesday, December 24, were 4-25-31-52-59, with Powerball 19 and a 2x Power Play. Meanwhile, the Florida Lotto jackpot has been climbing steadily after some big wins earlier this fall.
