3B’s Sunoco and Lakeland

The ticket was sold at 3B’s Sunoco, 5565 New Tampa Highway, Lakeland, Florida. The Florida Lotto game lets players pick 6 numbers between 1 and 53 or choose a Quick Pick ticket, and the winning numbers for the Wednesday drawing were 4-19-21-22-30-45.

That win came after nine rollovers. The jackpot then reset to $1 million for Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026, and the Saturday numbers were 3-11-20-25-40-42.

Florida Lotto prize details

Florida Lotto drawings are held at 11:15 p.m. ET every Wednesday and Saturday, including holidays. Players who match two of 6 winning Florida Lotto numbers get a free ticket, while the top prize in this draw came from matching all six.

The Florida Lottery also lists the odds of matching all six numbers as 1 in 22,957,480, whether the jackpot is $1 million or $36 million. Double Play, a $1 bonus drawing, uses the same numbers and can pay up to $250,000, with drawings held immediately after Florida Lotto drawings.

Claimed by Saturday

As of Saturday, Aug. 8, the Florida Lottery said the $6 million ticket had been claimed. The winner will remain anonymous for a short time, so the prize is public but the person behind it is not.

For anyone holding a Florida Lotto ticket from the Aug. 5 drawing, the result changes one thing immediately: the top prize is no longer in play, and the next drawing starts at $1 million.
