The Florida Lottery held its Powerball and Fantasy 5 drawings on July 1, 2026, with a $540 million Powerball jackpot up for grabs. The winning Powerball numbers were 14, 22, 38, 41, and 55, with a Powerball of 12 and a 3x Power Play multiplier, according to Florida Lottery Data Portal.
No one hit the jackpot in Florida, but one lucky ticket sold in Broward County matched all five white balls to win $1 million, Miami Herald reported. The jackpot rolls over to Saturday, July 4th.
July 1 Powerball and Fantasy 5 Winning Numbers
The Powerball drawing took place at 10:59 PM ET at the Florida Lottery studio in Tallahassee. The winning numbers were 14, 22, 38, 41, 55, Powerball 12, Power Play 3x. Players in Florida can also add the Double Play feature, which gives a second chance to win using the same numbers, according to Naples News.
Fantasy 5 was drawn twice on July 1. The Midday numbers were 04, 12, 18, 25, and 31. The Evening numbers were 09, 15, 20, 29, and 35. Combined payouts across both drawings totaled roughly $412,000 for Florida players, per Florida Lottery Data Portal.
Jackpot at $540 Million as Casual Players Flood In
The $540 million Powerball jackpot drew a surge of first-time and occasional players. Financial analyst Sarah Jenkins noted that once the jackpot crossed $500 million, casual player participation jumped 14% compared to the prior week, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.
Over 1.2 million Floridians are estimated to have taken part in the July 1 drawings, per the Florida Retail Federation. More than 13,000 authorized retailers statewide — including Publix and 7-Eleven locations — sold tickets throughout the day.
How to Claim Your Winnings in Florida
Prizes of $599 or less can be claimed at any authorized retailer. Larger prizes must be claimed by mail or in person at a Florida Lottery office. Winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prize, according to Herald Tribune.
Anyone who opts for a one-time lump-sum cash payout on a Powerball win must file their claim within 60 days. Florida law also lets winners of $250,000 or more stay anonymous for 90 days after claiming, under a 2022 state statute designed to protect them from fraud, per Tallahassee Democrat.
Lottery Funds Florida Education With Every Ticket Sold
Roughly 25 to 30 cents of every lottery dollar goes to the Bright Futures Scholarship Program. The Florida Department of Education estimates the July 1 drawing cycle alone will fund the equivalent of 450 full-time scholarships for the 2026–2027 school year, according to The News-Press.
The Florida Lottery has contributed over $40 billion to education since it launched in 1988, supporters say. But critics argue lottery sales are heaviest in lower-income areas. Behavioral economist Dr. Robert Heun calls the lottery "a regressive fiscal tool that relies on the financial desperation of those least able to afford the loss," per The Palm Beach Post.
