No One Wins Big in Lotto; Jackpot Reaches a Record Sum

No one was able to pick all six numbers correctly in Saturday night’s Lotto game, assuring the biggest jackpot in the history of the California Lottery. The current pot is in excess of $13 million, lottery spokesman John Schade said. “This week we will have the largest pot in California Lottery history,” he added, “topping the $15.22 million won by Donner and Eve Spencer of Saratoga in the Big Spin on June 21.” There were four winners in the 5 of 6 plus bonus category, and they each pocketed $234,771. In the straight 5 of 6, 213 people won $2,271 each, while 10,048 people picked 4 of 6 and won $43 each. In the straight $5 pool, there were 161,601 winners.
