About the California Lottery
Voters approved the California Lottery in 1984. Scratcher sales went live in October the following year, and Lotto game draws started in 1986.
California law requires that 87% of revenue be allocated to prizes and state education.
The lottery added Mega Millions to its portfolio in 2005. The first draw was held in Hollywood and the minimum jackpot was $15 million. Californians queued up well in advance to purchase their tickets. Mega Millions remains one of the state's most popular lotteries today.
In 2013, the state added Powerball, with the first draw taking place on April 10. California also has five state-only lottery games, including the horse-racing-themed Daily Derby.
