  The title says it all. The previous site had a good directory to present the history of the Cash-3 lotto drawing going back to 1988. Now the site goes back to 2022. Why did they have to ruined the old Fl Lottery website?

  I agree,

  In Ontario for past draws,it's only day to day.

  The calendar option is there to check any past dates draws though, but not even a month's worth at a time

  Obviously to them, history is not relevant anymore.

  It has become redundant in their eyes.

  They're focusing on the now, not the past

  Everything nowadays is geared towards online play

    I rarely go to the OLG website because there is nothing I need there.

  I have Lottery Post's tools and Lotsoft, that's all I need..

  But states run lottery here.

   

  They have to disclose past numbers. Raising concerns to state lottery is better. They might provide an all winning numbers archive - PDFs that FL lottery used to provide.

  Agreed but even so,

    Why don't they provide tools at least or maybe more up todate info on draws, maybe get more people to play ?
  

   

  Guess they are relying everyone to play Quick Picks so they have an advantage.

  From the main Florida Lottery page, hit Games/Draw Games/Pick 3.  Underneath  PICK 3 PAST RESULTS is a big red button that says Winning Number History.  It's a PDF file with results gong back to 4/29/88.

  The banquet you enjoy depends on what you bring to the table.

  The problem is the website's upgrade no longer gives the user the ability to check on the history of the individual Pick-3 numbers. The Pdf. format makes it very tough.

  Also, the new website stop showing the total winning payout amount for the Pick-3 games for that individual drawing.

  You can check on the history of individual Pick-3 numbers, but only for two years back.

  The new Florida Lottery website is a poor collection of options.  Hard even to find out what yesterday's draw was.  I have little doubt some idiot got a big bonus for building that mess.  Sorry to say I see things like this every day just shopping, product lines that vanish (Royal Cook and Serve Dark Chocolate Pudding), labels changed for the worse, etc.  Then I notice school supplies haven't changed much since I was a kid and that doesn't make me feel any better.

  The payout amounts are still there. After you click on Games, winning numbers, scroll down to the winning numbers. Click on the P2-P3-P4 banner. When the white box comes up with the number, click on the red down arrow on the right side of the white box. There's the payouts.

  I hate that it doesn't show where winning ticket s were bought.  The Texas state site does and its helpful.

  If you click on "Jackpot Winners and Retailers Information Report" you'd see exactly where a jackpot winning ticket was sold along with the winners name.   G5

  If you folks wanna see a truly poor website designed that was recently done in the last 3-4 years. Take a look at this hunny.      https://tnlottery.com/
  
  We have the, " World Lottery President " as our director
  Anyone want to tell me what the Cash Value is of the first 3 posted Big lotteries ?
  At least you folks have where the tickets are sold and how many winning tickets remain at all prize levels. We only have the top 3. https://tnlottery.com/remaining-prizes/
      Type in 374 into the search box of the prizes remaining..That game has been out for at least 7 years and only 1 top prize has been won, which was 2 or 3 years ago. None of the bottom listed 3rd tier prizes have been won to the best of my observations.

  I feel your pain.  The new site provides a pdf if you want to search individual hits history before 2022.  In other words they are saying do it yourself!  When the new website first came out it wouldn't allow you to submit a complaint form.(b/c they knew it would not be liked).  All we can do now is still voice our concerns/displeasure to FL lotto so it's on record. 

   

  Not to mention FL pick 3 has only played 2 triples in the last year so far.  BOGUS!

  Fl Pick 3 has released 666 as the only triple for 2024..

  Correct.

  Since June 2023 only 2 triples have hit to this point.

  11/10/2023 - 999 and 1/9/2024 - 666

  To only have 2 triples drop in a calendar year is wild!
