Pick 2
Pick 2 is a draw game from the Florida Lottery game with a top prize of $50 and drawings twice a day. There are a variety of play styles so you can find your favorite: Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Front Number or Back Number. Add Fireball to your ticket for even more chances to take home a prize.
Pick 2 has two chances to win every day, seven days a week. The midday draw is held at 1:30 PM ET, and the evening draw takes place at 9:45 PM ET. You can purchase tickets for the next draw up to 13 minutes prior - so get your tickets by 1:17 PM ET for the next midday draw, and 9:32 PM ET for the evening draw.
How to Play
Get started by picking your favorite number from 0 through 9 for each column of your playslip, so you have a total of two digits. You can play up to five times per playslip; each panel is one play. You can also mark the "QP" box and Quick Pick will randomly generate some or all of your numbers.
To play Front Number, choose your number from the first column only. For Back Number, select the number from the last column only.
There are a number of play types - choose from Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Front Number or Back Number.
You can play for 50 cents or $1 (all Straight/Box plays are $1).
Choose the draw time: MID for the midday draw at 1:30 PM ET, EVE for the evening draw at 9:45 PM ET, or BOTH for both draws. If no draw time is selected, you'll receive a ticket for the next available draw. If you select BOTH, the terminal will print two separate tickets, one for midday and one for evening.
With Advance Play, you can play your lucky numbers and favorite play types and draw times for up to 14 consecutive days - just add the number in the "Days" area of the playslip.

Fireball
Heat up your play with Fireball, an optional Pick 2 add-on that delivers extra ways to win. Fireball doubles the cost of your ticket and applies to all panels played. A Fireball number is drawn twice a day following the Pick 2 draws. Use the Fireball number to replace any winning Pick 2 number, delivering extra chances to win. You can even win a prize on both the base game and Fireball.
Pick 2 Prizes and Odds of Winning
If you match both the Pick 2 numbers drawn, you can win up to the top prize of $50, depending on play type and amount wagered. If you play Front Number or Back Number and match one number, you'll win up to $5.
The table below shows the estimated prize payouts and odds for each play type and wager amount:
| Play Types | Prizes | Odds | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Straight | 50¢ Play | $1.00 Play | |
| $25 | $50 | 1 in 100 | |
| Box | 50¢ Play | $1.00 Play | |
| $12.50 | $25 | 1 in 50 | |

| NOTE: Pick 2 offers set prize payouts & the Florida Lottery has established a $1 million liability limit for any specific 2-digit number in each drawing. If any 2-digit combination (e.g. 77) is purchased often enough for a single drawing that the liability limit would be exceeded, the Lottery will "cut off" further sales for that particular number combination, and no Front Number/Back Number plays that involve the first or last digit, respectively, of the 2-digit number will be allowed. Players who have already played the numbers are still eligible to win the full prize amount. | |||
