Amazing to think, but Floridians have been not winning the Florida Lottery for 25 years now.

So, to commemorate a quarter of a century of billboards promising millions, and stops to the gas station for a few dozen quick picks purchases, the lottery is going all Miami Dolphins on us and adapting a brand new logo.
