Interestingly, Nov. 1 was the day after Halloween and just hours before daylight saving time ended in 2025, which switched clocks back at 2 a.m.
Florida Lotto drawings are held at 11:15 p.m. ET on Wednesdays and Saturdays, including holidays. Players have a limited time to claim prizes. Unclaimed prize money is handled according to Florida Lottery rules.
