The jackpots for three draw games on the California Lottery have increased to almost $1 billion, just in time for the weekend. The California Lottery office reported on Friday that the combined jackpots for Mega Millions, Powerball, and Super Lotto Plus are around $1.13 billion.
The jackpots for Mega Millions are $450 million, Powerball are $615 million, and Super Lotto are $74 million respectively. Nearly $150 million has been earned from lottery ticket sales by the California Lottery, which was established to augment funding for California schools.
“When jackpots climb, excitement climbs as well. And no matter if a Californian wins a jackpot or not, the lottery’s beneficiary, California public education, has already won,” a news release said.
