556,804 Florida Lottery Firecracker Millionaire Raffle tickets had a shot at winning $1 million, and five of those are officially chosen as the big winners.

Lottery players anxiously waiting to see if they are now among the wealthy can check their tickets at Lottery Post's Florida Lottery Results page (www.lotterypost.com/results/fl).

With only 750,000 tickets available for the Firecracker Millionaire Raffle, Florida lottery ticket buyers had a better chance of winning a million dollars than with any other game offered in the state.

Of the 750,000 available tickets, 556,804 were sold, giving each ticket an even better shot at winning a prize.

In addition to the top prize, there are also 10 prizes of $100,000, 25 prizes of $10,000, and 2,500 prizes of $500, with a total prize payout of more than $7.5 million. The odds of winning a prize is 1 in 295.

Players who purchased Firecracker Millionaire Raffle tickets by June 17 also had a chance to instantly win one of 92 Universal Orlando Resort prizes. Forty players received a free 3-day/2-night stay for two at a Universal Orlando Resort hotel, 2-day park passes for two, and $1,000 provided by the Florida Lottery. Plus, 52 players received 2-day Universal Orlando park passes for two along with $500 provided by the Florida Lottery.

Firecracker Millionaire Raffle tickets cost $20 each. Sales started Friday, May 21, 2010.
