Over $400 Million Up For Grabs This Weekend in California!

SACRAMENTO – California is celebrating Labor Day with the two largest jackpots in the nation; MEGA Millions at $330 million and SuperLOTTO Plus at $93 million! 

Players are lining up for a chance to win!  The “California Combo” was designed to offer players a chance at both of these enormous jackpots!  With “California Combo”, players get 5 Quick Picks for MEGA Millions and 5 Quick Picks for SuperLOTTO Plus with one purchase. Tickets for either game may be purchased for the current jackpots until 7:45 p.m. on the evening of the draw; MEGA Millions on Friday and SuperLOTTO Plus on Saturday.  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.

The California State 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 billion to California schools out of total sales of more than $52 billion. Retailers win too, earning $3.3 billion in compensation since 1985.
