SuperLotto Plus is an exciting California lottery game with two draws a week and nine ways to win. The jackpot starts off at $7 million and keeps rolling over until someone wins! There is no cap on the amount the jackpot can grow to and the largest Californian SuperLotto win was an awesome $193 million in February 2002.
Drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday night at 7:57 PM PT. Ticket sales close at 7:45 PM, shortly before the draw takes place.
SuperLotto Plus has nine prize tiers, and the minimum jackpot value is $7 million. Win the top prize by matching all five numbers plus the Mega number! To win any other prize, all you need to do is match one main number plus the Mega number, or even just the Mega number alone.
In the table, "pari-mutuel" is listed in the prize column for most prize tiers. This means that the prize amount changes from draw-to-draw, depending on the ticket sales and the number of winners for that prize level. Due to California laws, the majority of CA Lottery prizes work this way. To get an idea of what the prizes are like for each level, we'd recommend having a quick browse of the Past SuperLotto Draws on our website.

For instance, if you spend $5 on SuperLotto Plus tickets, your 2nd Chance code will give you five entries into the 2nd Chance draw. The 2nd Chance draws are held weekly, with an entry deadline of 11:59 PM PT on Saturday. Drawings are held within five business days of the entry deadline.

Prizes of $599 and above are subject to federal taxes. However, the state of California does not tax lottery winnings.
Yes, provided there are 100 people or fewer in the lottery pool.
By default, jackpot prizes are paid in 30 annual instalments (annuity). However, the winner has 60 days after their claim is approved to choose the cash value of the prize as an alternative. This will be less than the advertised jackpot, because the advertised jackpot reflects the value of the prize as an annuity invested over time.
If the jackpot is being paid as an annuity, the winner's estate will continue to receive the annual payments.
You must be 18 or older to play California Lottery games.
