The SuperLOTTO Plus® jackpot starts at $7 million, and has reached a record $193 million because the jackpot grows each time there is no winner. To win, all you have to do is pick five numbers from 1 to 47 and one MEGA number from 1 to 27 and match them to the numbers drawn by the Lottery. Winning numbers are drawn and videotaped every Wednesday and Saturday at 7:57 PM, at Lottery headquarters in Sacramento.
As a benefit to players the Lottery has modified the "payment options" process. Jackpots are paid in 26 annual payments, or a player may choose the Cash Value payment in one lump sum. See Payment Option for explanation.

The California Lottery is proud to present a service to players; the Jackpot Captain program!
The Jackpot Captain program was designed by the California Lottery® to provide both loyal and new players with the tools needed to start a fun and successful Lottery group.
Over the years, the California Lottery® has had countless groups of winners, people just like you, that have pooled their money with friends and family with the hopes of hitting it BIG!

By default all SuperLOTTO Plus jackpots are paid in 26 annual installments. A winner has the opportunity to choose the Cash Value of their jackpot prize within 60 days of the Lottery's payment approval date. The payment option chosen will apply to all claimants in a multiple ownership claim.
Cash Option If you select the Cash Option, you will receive an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of bonds purchased to fund the 26 annual payments for that prize. This will be a single lump sum payment and is estimated at 45% to 55% of the jackpot amount.
Annual payments If you choose the annual payments option, you'll receive the SuperLotto Plus jackpot in 26 graduated annual payments.
For example, if the announced jackpot is $7 million, and you choose the annual payment option, you would receive $175,000 as the first payment (2.5% of jackpot amount). But, over the course of the next 25 years, these payments would gradually increase each year until the final payment of $357,000 - a 100% increase over the first payment!
