This holiday season you might want to slip some lottery tickets into Christmas cards, tuck them into stockings hanging by … wherever you hang stockings in Florida, or use them as a Hanukkah gift for friends and relatives that’s quick and easy and inexpensive and fun and could potentially pay off their mortgage.
But the Florida Lottery would like to remind everyone that lottery tickets are only intended for adults 18 and older.
“As we embrace the season of giving, our priority is to ensure that the fun of our games is enjoyed responsibly by all,” Florida Lottery Secretary John F. Davis said in a release Thursday. “Supporting the Gift Responsibly campaign highlights our ongoing commitment to keeping the excitement of our games safe and enjoyable by reminding everyone that our games should only be played by, or given to, adults.”
It’s also not a good idea to buy lottery tickets for people with gambling addictions. That includes yourself.
Here’s how to play and keep it fun.
First and foremost, understand that the odds are very much against you. The odds of winning big in Mega Millions or the Powerball are similar to successfully guessing the location of one specific vehicle somewhere in the entire U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii. Except they’re actually slightly worse than that.
The odds of winning something aren’t as bad, of course. Overall, the odds of winning at least a couple of bucks are:
The odds of winning a prize in a scratch-off game are considerably better, averaging anywhere from 1 in 2-point-something to 1 in 6. But that still means there are many more chances to buy a ticket and not win anything at all.
The fun of buying a lottery ticket is the chance you might win, and the fantasies you can spin of what you’ll do with your newfound truckload of wealth. But the Florida Lottery offers some tips on how to stay grounded.
“Gambling Addiction is Real,” the Florida Lottery says on its Play Responsibly page. “We want our games to remain fun for our players at all times. But we recognize that over-playing can happen.
“If you or a loved one is struggling with a gambling addiction, we encourage you to seek help by contacting one of the organizations below.”

There’s been a lot of prize money at stake lately when it comes to the lottery, and that’s the situation again tonight with Powerball and Megabucks as well.
The Powerball jackpot for the Wednesday, Nov. 19 drawing is an estimated $593 million, with a cash option on the prize being an estimated $277.6 million.
Tonight’s Powerball drawing will be the (31st) since the jackpot was last hit Sept. 6, when tickets sold in Missouri and Texas split a $1.787 billion jackpot.
Though nobody hit the jackpot after the drawing on Monday, Nov. 17, one $50,000 prize was won on a ticket sold in Revere, Massachusetts.
Do you want to get a Powerball ticket and play for tonight’s jackpot?
Here’s how to do that.
Drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
You can check the Massachusetts Lottery website, or the Powerball website for the drawing results.
Powerball tickets are $2 each and can be purchased until 9:50 p.m. on the day of a drawing.
The Powerball website states that, “the overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.”
To play Powerball, you have to buy a ticket for $2. You can do this at a variety of locations, including your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store. In some states, Powerball tickets can be bought online.
Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls with numbers from 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26. People can also add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes.
The “Power Play” multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
If you are feeling unlucky or want the computer to do the work for you, the “Quick Pick” option is available, where computer-generated numbers will be printed on a Powerball ticket. To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.
If no one wins the jackpot for a given drawing, the cash prize will continue to tick up.
To win, match one of the nine ways to win:
According to a release, tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
“More than half of all proceeds from the sale of a Powerball ticket remain in the jurisdiction where the ticket was sold,” the release states. “Since its first drawing in 1992, the Powerball game has helped generate more than $36 billion for good causes supported by U.S. lotteries.”
The Megabucks jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing is an estimated $7.45 million, in which the winner could take a $5.1 million cash option.
“This is the game’s largest jackpot since the game was redesigned in 2023 to bring more value to players including better odds of winning, higher average jackpots, bigger payouts for all non-jackpot prizes as well as including an additional third weekly drawing,” according to a release from the Massachusetts Lottery.
Prior to tonight’s drawing, the game’s largest jackpot under the new game matrix was $6.13 million which was hit on Jan. 27 on a ticket purchased in Rockland, Massachusetts.
Megabucks tickets are $2 each and can only be purchased in Massachusetts.
Tickets for Wednesday’s drawing can be purchased until 9 p.m.
Megabucks drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 9 p.m.

Google Ads will accept lottery-courier advertising in Puerto Rico starting December 11, 2025, requiring state licenses and certification from qualifying operators.
Google announced on November 19, 2025, that the platform will begin accepting advertisements for lottery-courier services in Puerto Rico starting December 11, 2025. The policy change represents another geographic expansion of Google’s Gambling and games policy for the United States, following a series of state-specific updates throughout 2024 and 2025.
According to the official policy documentation, the update specifically targets the United States country specifications within Google’s gambling advertising framework. “We will begin to allow ads for lottery-couriers in Puerto Rico,” the announcement states. The modification takes effect on December 11, 2025, providing operators with a 22-day window between announcement and implementation to prepare certification applications and compliance materials.
Lottery couriers operate as intermediaries between consumers and state-run lottery systems. These businesses facilitate remote lottery ticket purchases for individuals unable to physically visit lottery retailers, typically operating through online platforms or mobile applications. The services have gained traction across multiple U.S. states as digital commerce infrastructure expanded over the past decade.
The Puerto Rico policy update requires advertisers to meet specific certification standards before accessing Google’s advertising platform. According to the policy documentation, “To apply for certification, advertisers must provide a license demonstrating authorization to operate Lottery Courier services in a US state where such a license is mandatory.”

This licensing requirement creates a threshold that distinguishes legitimate operators from unlicensed entities. States with mandatory lottery-courier licensing programs maintain regulatory oversight through various government departments, typically state lottery commissions or gaming control boards. The certification framework ensures only authorized businesses can advertise through Google’s network.
The certification process itself involves application submission through Google’s specialized gambling advertising approval system. “Advertisers must apply for certification,” the policy states explicitly. Google maintains a formal application mechanism requiring detailed business information, licensing documentation, and compliance attestations from prospective gambling advertisers.
The geographic scope of this announcement focuses exclusively on Puerto Rico, the Caribbean territory with approximately 3.2 million residents. Puerto Rico operates under a unique regulatory status as an unincorporated U.S. territory, maintaining its own lottery system while adhering to certain federal standards. The territory’s inclusion in Google’s state-by-state gambling advertising expansion reflects the platform’s recognition of Puerto Rico’s distinct regulatory environment.
Google’s approach to lottery-courier advertising in the United States has followed an incremental pattern. The platform initially expanded lottery-courier advertising to 40 states on July 15, 2024, specifically excluding California. That policy change marked a significant shift from previous restrictions that limited gambling-related advertisements to state-run lotteries and horse racing.
The phased expansion strategy allows Google to adapt its certification systems and enforcement mechanisms to each jurisdiction’s specific regulatory requirements. Earlier policy updates included Arkansas, Montana, New Jersey, and New York in December 2023, establishing the framework that subsequent expansions would follow.

Puerto Rico’s lottery ecosystem operates through the Puerto Rico Lottery, which generates substantial revenue for education and infrastructure programs. The territory’s gambling regulatory framework includes oversight mechanisms for various gaming activities, creating an established structure that Google apparently considers adequate for advertising platform access.
The December 11 implementation date aligns with Google’s typical policy deployment timeline. The platform generally provides advance notice ranging from two to four weeks, allowing affected businesses to prepare documentation and complete certification applications. The compressed timeline suggests Google views the Puerto Rico expansion as relatively straightforward given existing infrastructure for U.S.-based lottery-courier certification.
Compliance requirements for gambling advertising on Google extend beyond initial certification. According to policy documentation covering gambling content broadly, advertisers must maintain valid licenses throughout their certification period and immediately notify Google of any license suspensions, expirations, or terminations. Material changes to licensing status require recertification, with violations potentially resulting in immediate account suspension.
The responsible gambling standards that apply across Google’s gambling advertising policies extend to lottery-courier advertisements. All gambling-related ads must display responsible gambling information and never target minors, regardless of specific gambling category. These universal requirements reflect Google’s stated commitment to consumer protection within the advertising ecosystem.
Format restrictions that apply to gambling advertising generally will govern Puerto Rico lottery-courier ads. Certain Google advertising products remain unavailable for gambling content, including Gmail ads, Shopping ads, and reservation display ads according to platform specifications. Sports betting and daily fantasy sports gained access to Google TV Masthead in the United States starting April 30, 2025, though specific format availability for lottery-courier advertising remains subject to the broader gambling policy framework.
The Puerto Rico expansion occurs within a broader context of Google’s evolving gambling advertising strategy across global markets. Throughout 2024 and 2025, the platform has implemented numerous jurisdiction-specific policy changes responding to regulatory developments. Brazil experienced major policy restructuring in September 2024 requiring government authorization and prohibiting gambling aggregators. Nigeria saw a blanket ban on gambling advertising in January 2025 following a Supreme Court ruling that transferred gambling regulation from federal to state authorities.
Missouri gained sports betting advertising access on August 15, 2025, while Australia experienced a temporary pause on new gambling certification applications effective August 25, 2025. These varied responses demonstrate Google’s market-by-market approach to gambling advertising, adjusting policies based on local regulatory environments rather than implementing uniform global standards.

For digital marketing professionals managing lottery-courier clients, the Puerto Rico policy change creates new targeting opportunities within the Caribbean market. Campaign development will require careful attention to certification timing, ensuring applications receive approval before the December 11 effective date to capitalize on the initial advertising window.
The certification application process typically requires five to seven business days for initial review according to Google’s standard processing timelines for gambling-related approvals. However, processing times can extend during high-volume periods or when applications require additional documentation. Advertisers seeking immediate market access upon policy implementation should submit certification applications well in advance of the December 11 deadline.
Geographic targeting mechanisms within Google Ads will require precise configuration to ensure lottery-courier advertisements reach Puerto Rico audiences while maintaining compliance with jurisdictional restrictions. Google’s advertising platform includes sophisticated location targeting that prevents ads from serving in unauthorized territories, a critical compliance feature for gambling-related content subject to geographic licensing limitations.
Budget allocation for lottery-courier advertising in Puerto Rico will depend on multiple factors including market size, competitive intensity, and cost-per-click rates within the gambling vertical. Gambling-related keywords typically command premium pricing within Google’s auction system due to high commercial intent and regulatory restrictions that limit advertiser supply.
The November 19 announcement date positions the policy change within Google’s regular update cadence for gambling advertising policies. The platform publishes policy changes through its Advertising Policies Help Center, maintaining a comprehensive change log that documents every modification to gambling-related advertising rules across global markets.
The Puerto Rico expansion does not indicate imminent California inclusion in lottery-courier advertising permissions. California has remained explicitly excluded from Google’s lottery-courier advertising policies since the initial 2024 expansion, likely reflecting the state’s distinct regulatory approach to lottery services and online gambling more broadly.
