The Lotter – Online Lottery Tickets Agent »
florida lottery Due to legal restrictions, we never offer sugestions or recommendations for specific lottery games to play. What we can do is to let our readers know the latest and biggest news from each of the dozens of international lottery games that can be played from theLotter Online Lottery website.
One of the lottery games we discuss the most is the Florida State Lottery, not just because its the sunshine state, but mainly because of the number of lottery jackpot winners it seems to create. Here is another story from a few years ago when Linda McLaughlin won $600,000,000 (yes count the zero’s !)
Linda McLaughlin, 50, of Jacksonville, won the $1 million top prize in the $600 MILLION HIGH ROLLER Scratch-Off game. McLaughlin, who arrived at Lottery headquarters wearing her Publix uniform, received a lump-sum for her winning in the amount of $708,794.50. McLaughlin purchased her winning ticket at Publix located at 7749 Normandy Boulevard in Jacksonville. McLaughlin said that after completing her shift at the Publix deli, she decided to purchase a $600 MILLION HIGH ROLLER Scratch-Off ticket.
She scratched the ticket while still on the premises, only to discover the ticket was not a winner. “Something told me to go buy one more of those $600 MILLION HIGH ROLLER Scratch-Off tickets and sure enough it was a $1 million winner,” McLaughlin said. When asked if she planned on returning to the store where she works, and purchased the ticket, McLaughlin said she was unsure. “I think, for now, my boss is just happy to be the retailer who sold the winning ticket because Publix has a $20,000 bonus check coming their way,” said McLaughlin.
This is both a heart warming and sad story of a lottery winner from the Florida State Lotto
On September 3, 1988, Sheelah Ryan of Winter Springs made Florida Lottery history when she won the then largest Lottery prize ever awarded to an individual player. Ryan the 10th FLORIDA LOTTO™ winner won $55.16 million when she chose the numbers, 3, 5, 19, 20, 27 and 35.
With her Lottery winnings, Ryan developed the Sheelah Ryan Foundation Inc., a charity that helps many people in Seminole County – senior citizens, abused spouses, and women and children struggling to survive. The foundation also provides scholarships to students in Seminole County schools.
In 1994, at age 69, Ryan lost her fight with cancer. However, through the efforts of her family members, close friends and funds provided by her Lottery winnings, Ryan’s philanthropic vision lives on.

The Florida Lottery is one of the biggest lotteries in the great United States of America. I may be a little biased since of all the lotteries I play each week (currently stands at 10 USA Lotteries, the UK National Lottery and the French Loto) this is the one that i’ve won the most often.
The Florida lottery offers a range of game types and subsequent payouts, each week I invest around $20 and on average (yes I have a spreadsheet to do the maths for me) I have won $55 per week over the last 6 months…

over the years that we’ve been offering our online lottery ticket buying service, people have probably been most interested in the Florida State Lottery Online so we thought (well my boss did) that this would be an ideal forum to post some quick information about what the Florida Lottery is all about:
The first game offered by the Flordia Lottery was called Millionaire, a one dollar scratch card game with a jackpot prize of $1 Million. Then in April 1988 the first number-drawing games were held, Cash 3 and Lotto, with Lotto a 6 number game with a multi-million USD jackpot.
Lotto is a twice weekly lottery game, with drawings taking place on a Wendnesday and Saturday, during a live broadcast at 11pm EST, 6 balls are drawn from a number range 1 to 53. The minimum estimated jackpot is $3 million and rollsover until someone wins!
