Tonight’s SuperLOTTO Plus Jackpot at $53 Million
SACRAMENTO – California’s SuperLOTTO Plus offers players a chance at $53 million tonight. To claim the top jackpot, players need to pick five numbers from 1 to 47 and one MEGA number from 1 to 27 and match them to the numbers drawn by the California Lottery.
Tickets cost $1 and can be purchased at more than 19,000 California Lottery retail locations throughout the state. Tickets are on sale until 7:45 tonight. The winning numbers are chosen at 7:57 p.m. Players can find authorized retailers by visiting www.calottery.com/locations.
The California Lottery’s other big-draw game, MEGA Millions, did not have a grand prize winner last night. As a result, its jackpot, the largest in the nation, is $87 million. The next chance players have at the MEGA Millions prize is Friday.
As jackpots rise, the California Lottery would like to remind players that gambling should be fun. Borrowing money to play, spending above a person’s budget or using money intended for other purposes can ultimately lead to significant problems for players and their families. If a player recognizes that they have a gambling problem or if someone knows of someone who may have a problem, the California Lottery recommends calling the Problem Gambling Help Line at 1-800-GAMBLER.
More than 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 $20 billion to California schools out of total sales of nearly $55 billion. Retailers benefit too, earning $3.5 billion in compensation since 1985.
