Playing the California Super Lotto Plus game can be a great thrill. The California Super Lotto jackpot can range anywhere from seven million up to the largest prize awarded from the game, which was 193 million dollars. Because the jackpot increases every time there is a drawing and one is declared the winner, the prize amounts can be astronomical.

It only costs one dollar to play this type of California lotto, so it is an affordable way to buy a little bit of fun and excitement. You merely go to a CA lotto retailer and ask for a Super Lotto Plus game card. Then you pick five numbers that each range anywhere from one to forty-seven. You must also pick a sixth number, known as the MEGA number. It must fall in the range of anywhere from one to twenty-six.

The only way to win the whole California Super Lotto jackpot is to match all six of the numbers drawn, including the Mega number. However, prizes are awarded for having some of the number correctly chosen. For instance, you can win several thousand dollars by simply having all five numbers correct without having the correct Mega ball. The prize for having four numbers and the Mega ball number is typically in the thousand dollar range, and the payouts for other combinations with fewer correct numbers drop off drastically from there. However, it can be very exciting to have at least two numbers correctly chosen, and it can at least pay for several more tries for the California Super Lotto Plus prize the next time around.

Drawings for the California Super Lotto are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so there are two chances to win every week. Winning lotto numbers are announced on television, and you can also check for official number postings on the Cal lotto website.
