on october 11, 2010, the florida lottery introduced lucky lines. lucky lines is an instant win game where players elect how much to wager on each ticket from $1, $2, $3, or $5. the lottery computer then produces a 7x7 grid of numbers from 1 to 49 with the player numbers distributed throughout. if the player's 7 numbers form a straight line that ticket is a grand prize winner and is paid from $400,000 to $3,000,000 depending on the amount of the wager for that ticket. the top prize is always offered as a lump sum. lesser prizes are offered for lines formed with 3, 4, 5, or 6 numbers as well as tickets where none of the 7 numbers are adjacent to each other. lines can be diagonal, horizontal, or vertical on the play card.
