The California Lottery has been giving residents a chance to win since 1985. It operates four draw games: Daily 3, Daily 4, Fantasy 5, and SuperLotto Plus, alongside hundreds of scratch-off tickets sold at retailers statewide. Whether you prefer daily drawings or instant wins, there's something for every player.
California Lottery profits go straight to education, funding K-12 schools, community colleges, and public universities across the state. Since 1985, the lottery has contributed over $50 billion to classrooms, teachers, and student programs. Every ticket sold means more resources for California's students and schools.

California's lottery system still operates on a retail-only basis, keeping ticket sales grounded in physical locations. Federal regulations and state law work together here, preventing online sales. But here's the good news: you've got access to thousands of authorized retailers statewide. Pop into any convenience store, gas station, or supermarket displaying the official California Lottery sign. Many players actually prefer this approach since you walk out with your ticket in hand, scratch-offs are instant, and you can verify winning numbers on the spot. It's tradition mixed with accountability.

Learn about your privacy options and legal requirements if you win the lottery in California. Understand whether you can remain anonymous and what steps you can take to protect your identity.
California requires lottery winners to be publicly identified. Your name, city, and prize amount will typically be disclosed as part of public records.
California lottery winners can't stay anonymous. That's the law. Unlike some states that let you claim through trusts or LLCs, California requires winners to publicly disclose their identity, and there's basically no way around it. This means your name, city, and winning amount become public record. Photographers show up. Media outlets publish stories. Your life changes instantly and permanently in the public eye. There aren't real exceptions to anonymity rules in California, though winners sometimes hire attorneys to manage the claiming process and handle media inquiries on their behalf. You're still identified, but lawyers can buffer the chaos somewhat. Lottery officials verify you're the actual ticket holder before payment, so there's no hiding behind representatives either. Winners need to brace themselves for attention, solicitation, and folks suddenly remembering they're old friends.
