Florida Millionaire Raffle Returns in 2026 With $1M Prizes
Friday March 13th 2026Exciting news. Following a 10-year hiatus, the Florida Lottery has launched the Millionaire Raffle for 2026.
This lottery gives players multiple chances to win cash prizes — including at least ten $1 million prizes — over a series of drawings. This has got a lot of lottery players excited. Not just because of the gap, but because it offers a maximum of 2 million tickets to be sold, which increases odds of winning significantly.
What Is The Florida Millionaire Raffle?
Florida’s Millionaire Raffle is a special drawing event consisting of five drawings. It features four monthly interim drawings for prizes up to $100,000, followed by a Grand Prize drawing for $1,000,000. Tickets are all entered into the remaining drawings from the time of purchase, but buying early gives you a chance to win in all five drawings. Imagine that.
Tickets went on sale March 1, 2026, and players who buy early can maximize their chances of winning before the first drawing takes place on April 1.
Multiple Drawings and Thousands of Prizes
While the raffle tickets may be more expensive than regular Florida draw games like Florida Lotto, Mega Millions, and Powerball, the $20 raffle ticket includes a unique seven-digit number and is automatically entered into all remaining drawings after purchase.
Every interim drawing will award 2,498 prizes, ranging from $100 to $100,000, while the grand prize drawing will award at least ten $1 million prizes. Players who win in an interim draw remain eligible for future drawings by receiving a continuation ticket with the same raffle number.
Dates for the 2026 Millionaire Raffle
The Florida Lottery has scheduled the following drawing dates:
- April 1, 2026 – First interim drawing
- May 1, 2026 – Second interim drawing
- June 1, 2026 – Third interim drawing
- July 1, 2026 – Fourth interim drawing
- July 2, 2026 – Grand prize drawing for $1 million prizes
Because each ticket is entered into all remaining drawings, players who purchase tickets earlier in the promotion period will be eligible for more opportunities to win. In other words, the earlier you buy your ticket the more chances you have of winning.
Scan the table below for the entry periods and drawing dates:
| Drawing | Entry Period | Drawing Date |
|---|---|---|
| Interim Draw 1 | 1 March – 31 March 2026 | 1 April 2026 |
| Interim Draw 2 | 1 March – 30 April 2026 | 1 May 2026 |

How Many Tickets Are Available?
There are up to 2 million tickets available and the promotion runs through June 30, 2026, or until the maximum number of raffle tickets has been sold.
In addition to the guaranteed millionaire prizes, the Florida Lottery notes that the number of $1 million winners could increase if ticket sales exceed certain thresholds. With thousands of prizes awarded across multiple drawings and the first results arriving in early April, the Millionaire Raffle offers players a structured alternative to traditional draw games and a shot at becoming Florida’s next millionaire.
