Winning SuperLOTTO Plus Ticket Sold in Petaluma!

SACRAMENTO – The winning ticket in last night's SuperLOTTO Plus draw was sold in Petaluma and is worth $80 million! The numbers on that winning ticket match all six numbers in the winning number combination of 2, 6, 17, 41, 45 and 1 as the MEGA number. The winning ticket was sold at a Safeway store located in Petaluma.  

If you are the winner, the Lottery wants to remind you to sign your ticket, put it in a safe place and contact Lottery officials or visit your local Lottery District Office (http://www.calottery.com/AboutUs/Locations) as soon as you can. Winners have 180 days from the date of the draw to claim their prize.

The location where the winning SuperLOTTO Plus ticket was sold is the Safeway store located at 373 South McDowell Boulevard in Petaluma. This retailer will earn a bonus of $400,000 for selling the winning ticket.

Eight other tickets came very close to winning the SuperLOTTO Plus jackpot by matching five out of the six numbers. Those tickets were sold in Garden Grove, Newport Beach, Lakeside, San Gabriel, Los Angeles, Costa Mesa, Irvine and Redlands.  Each ticket is worth nearly $18,000.

If you didn’t win this jackpot you still have a chance at the MEGA Millions jackpot. It is at $270 million for Friday night’s draw.  For only $1, players may purchase a MEGA Millions ticket until 7:45 p.m. on the night of the draw at the Lottery’s more than 19,000 retail locations statewide.

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.
