There are plenty of ups and downs to winning (or trying to win) the Powerball lottery in Florida.

Florida has the third highest active lottery sales in the nation and leads in Powerball wins, the Sun-Sentinel reports:

"We've led the nation since we added Powerball in 2009, both in winners and in sales," the Florida Lottery's Shelly Gerteisen said.

However, when it comes to hitting the jackpot in Florida, that chances goes way down. Prior to last night, only four people have hit the Powerball jackpot in Florida, according to a Powerball analysis website. Florida joined Powerball in 2009 and the multi-state lottery has had 53 winners since then. Indiana leads in jackpot wins with 19 followed by Pennsylvania at 15.

Second place isn't a bad consolation prize, though. Florida has had 159 second-prize Powerball winners, according to the Powerball analysis site.
