Holders of 3 Tickets to Share $51-Million Super Lotto Jackpot
Tickets sold in Elk Grove, San Mateo and Pomona correctly matched the six numbers drawn in California’s Saturday night Super Lotto game and their lucky holders will share a $51-million jackpot, lottery officials said.
Each ticket is worth $16.9 million, officials said.
The numbers drawn from a field of 51 were 5, 17, 28, 35, 37, and 42. The numbers are listed in sequential order, but any combination wins.
The $51-million jackpot is the biggest since the state’s world-record $118.8-million prize 17 months ago.
The odds of choosing the correct six numbers from a field of 51 were 1 in 18 million, said Joanne McNabb, a state lottery spokeswoman.
Sales from Wednesday to Saturday’s draw were $34.5 million.
In addition to the jackpot winners, there were 524 tickets sold matching five of the six numbers. Each ticket was worth $1,646. There were 28,064 tickets with four of six numbers, with each winning $79.
And there were 539,993 tickets sold with three of six numbers, with each worth an automatic $5.
Lottery officials estimate the jackpot for Wednesday night’s game will be $3 million.
