$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
Lol that you're saying california has a higher population than China or India combined is totally nuts. If the lottery were rigged, it would be so california and Florida dont win.

If sales are a bit

CA SuperLotto slow-build 6 monthsReply
CA SuperLotto Plus is idiotic. By regulation, the advertised annuity value has to increase by exactly 1 million dollars with every rollover, and the cash value is calculated from that number, regardless of sales . It works the opposite of every other annuitized jackpot lottery where sales dictate the cash value and the cash value dictates the annuity.
