Florida doesn't currently allow online lottery purchases. You'll need to visit an authorized retailer in person to buy Pick 2 tickets. This keeps all purchases secure and ensures proper age verification. Some players use courier services from other states, but you must be physically present in that state to purchase. For now, buying at retail locations remains the only legal option for Florida residents.

Pick 2 is flexible, you choose how much to wager. Bets range from $0.50 to $1.00 per play. Your wager amount directly affects your potential prize. A $1 Straight play might win $500, but a $5 wager on the same numbers wins $2,500. Different play types have different payouts at each wager level. You can mix wager amounts and play types on the same ticket. There's no minimum purchase beyond one play.

Odds in Pick 2 depend on which play type you choose. Straight play (exact order) has odds of 1 in 1,000, while Box play (any order) offers better odds depending on your number combination. Want better odds? Choose Box or Front/Back Pair. Want bigger prizes? Go with Straight or Combo. The beauty of Pick 2 is you control the risk-reward balance.

Pick 2 has 5 main play types: Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Front Pair, Back Pair. Each works differently. Straight means exact order, pick 1-2-3, and only 1-2-3 wins. Odds: 1 in 1,000. Box matches any order, 1-2-3 wins as 3-2-1, 2-1-3, etc. Better odds, smaller prize. Combo plays every possible order as separate Straight bets for maximum coverage, higher cost. You can mix multiple play types on one ticket. Many players do a small Box wager plus a larger Straight bet on their favorite number.
