The lottery currently offers 10 prize categories. The amount of the top prize is fixed, which means that Pick Four FL is not the one to bring you a record-high jackpot. For now, it accounts for $5,000 (with $1 wager). Luckily, the fact that the jackpot is quite modest is compensated by indeed high winning odds! As shown by official estimates, the odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 10,000. In particular, you will have to correctly guess all the four Florida Lottery Pick 4 numbers. The most important thing is to guess them in the exact order. For more information, please look at the table below:

The minimum cost of playing is 50 cents or $1. The lottery does not offer any opportunities to multiply prizes. No add-on games are provided, either.
The lottery’s most often drawn numbers are 2, 9, 1 (Midday) and 3, 7, 5 (Evening). The cold, or the least frequent numbers are 6, 5, 3 (Midday) and 9, 8, 2 (Evening).

One more thing to take into account is that all the prizes are to be claimed within 180 days from the day of the draw or otherwise the winning ticket expires, regardless of Florida Lottery Pick 4 results.
