California Super Lotto
Overview |
The California Super Lotto is a uge American lottery, exclusive
to the state of California. One would expect that this may impact on the
prize pool, relative to multi-state lotteries, but this is by no means
the case.
The California Super Lotto is one of the most lucrative
available, with a guaranteed jackpot of $7 million. In order to win
this, you need to correctly pick the 5 winning numbers, plus the extra
Mega ball. The latter is drawn from a separate smaller number pool.
Every Wednesday and Saturday just before 8pm you can join millions of
others in eager expectation of a life-changing lottery experience.
You can also select your numbers weeks in advance of the draw date,
and simply specify the date on which you wish to play your numbers in
the draw. All payouts are pari-mutuel, as is the custom in all
California lotteries - this means that they payouts are determined by
the total ticket value purchased. A certain percentage is held over from
this value as a guarantee against the jackpot payout.
The lottery has been altered to allow you to choose whether you want
a lump sum payout in cash, or wish to receive annual payments for 26
years. |
