The Florida Lottery Only Has 2 Scratch Offs With ALL Of The Top Prizes Still Available

Florida Lottery Payday Bonus

I've talked about this before, when I play scratch offs, I play to win big. But some of the games at the counter have all their big winners gone. Do you know? The gas station attendant in Fort Myers can't tell you. But the information is available on the Florida Lottery website. The Florida Lottery has a lot of different scratch offs with winners from all over the state. But only 2 of those scratch offs have all of their big winners still out there. So you want to play a scratch off game that no one has won big with (yet)? Well, here they are.

Those are both still out there.

New List: Florida Lottery Scratch Off Tickets You Might Want To Avoid

I love reporting on big wins when people hit jackpots on Florida Lottery scratch off tickets. I want that to be me! So when I was at Publix in Fort Myers last night I went to the Florida Lottery machine and fed it 20 bucks. Hey, if you want to win 5 million you got to bet big.  I pressed the button with the most eye catching 20 dollar ticket and took it home. Guess what? I didn't win. And I found out later that I probably wouldn't. You see, the Florida Lottery tracks all of the winning tickets on their website and of the 8  - 5 million dollar winning tickets, 7 of them were already gone. I should have gone with a different ticket to have better odds.

Unfortunately for us, buying scratchers can be a bit of an impulse buy. “I like this one”. But you should really treat it as a financial decision. It is money we’re trying to win. Please keep in mind I’m not telling you which tickets you should play, or if you should play at all. You do you. Just because a ticket only has one big winner left doesn’t mean it’s not sitting in a counter at a gas station in Lehigh. The fact is, we don’t know. This is just math.

Take for instance the $50 -  500X the cash in the picture.

There's two $25 million dollar grand prize tickets. A guy in Bonita Springs claimed one of them, so there's still one out there. Of the 160 $1 million dollar prizes, only 19 remain. Two of those winners were announced this past week.

So with the help of the Florida Lottery website, let’s discuss which scratch off tickets you might want to avoid if you’re looking to hit it big. What fun is it to play if you can't win big? Also, we’ll take a look at which scratch off games have the most big winners left in the pot. You want to win big and get that Lambo? Let’s do this.

This list is from 5/3/2023. As more winners happen, and more games are announced, this data will become outdated. Here's the November 2023 list of Florida Lottery Scratch Off Tickets.

Florida Lottery Scratch Off Tickets You Might Want To Avoid

Also, we’ll take a look at which scratch off games have the most big winners left.

It's a $5 ticket where you could win $500,000. But you won't. All of those are gone.

Florida Lottery

500X The Cash

I'm on the fence on this one. A lot of the big winning tickets are gone, but several of them were here in Southwest Florida. GEORGE  DEMETRIADES of Bonita Springs won $25 million, and one of those big ones are still out there. There's only 19 of the 160 $1 million dollar prizes, but we've seen those hit in North Fort Myers, Marco Island, and Naples. It's a $50 ticket so it's a tough decision. Here's the data I'm looking at.

Full of $200s

A $2 ticket. Only 1 of the 12 big winners are left.

Florida Lottery

$2 Monopoly Doubler

7 of the 8 $100,000 winning tickets are gone.

Florida Lottery

1M Year/Life Spec

I haven't seen this one. This card just came out on February 27th. The ticket is $50 and two winners get a million a year for life. Both of those are still out there. 234 one million dollar winners and 206 of those still out there. Have a look if you're interested.

Florida Lottery

If you don't see your favorite ticket, it probably falls somewhere in between.

Have fun, but play responsibly. I did this list for my own benefit, but it was something I wanted to share. The idea of buying a ticket with no way of winning the grand prize just seemed like such a downer. So I did the math. Good luck to all.

UPDATE: I redid this list as of October 4, 2023. You'll find that here

This one really does look interesting.......
