Sacramento -- The California Lottery officials announced that XTRA REWARD, a special featured promotion for the SuperLotto Plus® game, will be held from March 31 - May 11, 2002. An eight-digit number will be drawn every Wednesday and Saturday giving players a chance to win $75,000. (Please add this eight-digit number to your draw results section in your Lotto Box.) The eight-digit number for last Wednesday's draw was 10220113.
Each time a player buys 5 to 10 SuperLotto Plus plays, for one draw on a single ticket, they automatically receive one to three free Xtra Reward numbers. The Xtra Reward number is a unique eight-digit number, which will appear on the bottom of each ticket. These numbers are sequential and unique to each ticket. Players match the Xtra Reward number to the Lottery-selected eight-digit number and win $75,000.
Players can find out if they are winners by visiting a retailer, visiting the Lottery website at www.calottery.com or checking the local newspaper.
