SuperLotto Plus jackpot rises to $80 million

Tickets are on sale until 7:45 tonight. The winning numbers are chosen just before 8 p.m. Authorized Lottery retailers can be found by visiting calottery.com/locations.

The California Lottery's other big-draw game, MEGA Millions, did not have a grand prize winner last night. Californians, however, won more than $2.1 million in prize money, including one ticket that had five of the six numbers correct. That single ticket, which sold in the City of Industry, is worth $697,476. The next jackpot for MEGA Millions will be $270 million on Friday night.

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.
