Florida Lotto and Powerball Boosts Jackpot

In recent lottery news, a Florida Lotto ticket worth $43 million was sold at a Tom Thumb store near Destin, Florida, but the winner has yet to claim their prize. Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot has increased to $331 million following no winner in the January 15 drawing, with the next drawing slated for January 18. Notably, a $1 million Powerball ticket was sold in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and one in Ohio, both matching the five numbers but missing the Powerball. Additionally, a Minnesota ticket won $100,000 by matching four numbers plus the Powerball, with the prize doubled due to the Power Play option. Lottery players have a fixed period to claim their prizes, varying by state, with some winners opting for anonymity. As the jackpots grow, players across various states continue to try their luck.
