The integrity of all games is of utmost importance to the Florida Lottery. Players are reminded to sign the back of their tickets at the time of purchase and keep them in a safe place. Even if players don’t win the jackpot, they can still claim cash prizes of up to $2 million with POWERBALL and up to $5 million with MEGA MILLIONS.
