After the jackpot reset to $1 million on Aug. 8, there were 12 rollovers until someone won $10.75 million on Saturday, Sept. 19. However, a Florida Lottery check online shows the jackpot “remains unclaimed.”

This Florida Lotto jackpot streak reset to $1 million for Wednesday, Sept. 23. So far, there have been nine rollovers, including the Wednesday, Oct. 21, drawing, so the grand prize jumped to $6.5 million for Saturday, Oct. 24.
