The $5 game, Pay Me!, launched in February and features over $58 million in total cash prizes, the Lottery said. The game’s overall odds of winning are 1-in-3.98.

Florida Lottery offices are currently open to the public by appointment only for players with prizes valued at $600 or more. Players can request a claim appointment at Headquarters and district offices through the Lottery’s website, at www.flalottery.com/howToClaim. Players can still utilize the secured drop box located at each district office or mail tickets to Florida Lottery Headquarters or a district office.
