California Lottery Offers Two Big Reasons to Give Thanks - Over $90 Million Up for Grabs!
SACRAMENTO – With the California Lottery offering two of the highest jackpots in the nation, players might have a hard time choosing which game to play. The California Lottery has the answer – try California Combo! With California Combo, players get 5 Quick Picks for MEGA Millions and 5 Quick Picks for SuperLOTTO Plus with one purchase. This allows players to have a chance at tonight’s (Wednesday’s) SuperLOTTO Plus jackpot of $43 million and Friday night’s MEGA Millions jackpot of $50 million.
Players of either game may purchase tickets for the current jackpots until 7:45 p.m. on the evening of the draw; SuperLOTTO Plus tonight (Wednesday) and MEGA Millions on Friday. Tickets for all Lottery games are available at the Lottery’s over 19,000 retail locations statewide.
As the jackpots rise, the California Lottery would like to remind players that gambling should be fun. If you think that you or someone you care about might have a gambling problem, call the California Problem Gambling Help Line at 1-800-GAMBLER.
Over 95 cents of every Lottery dollar is returned to the community in the form of contributions to education, prizes and retail commissions. The California Lottery contributes at least 34 cents of every dollar that players spend on Lottery products to public education and returns more than 50 percent of sales to players in the form of prizes. Since its inception in 1985, the Lottery has contributed more than $19.6 billion to California schools out of total sales of more than $53.25 billion. Retailers win too, earning $3.4 billion in compensation since 1985.
