California Chevron Station Sells Five-Figure SuperLotto Plus Ticket Worth $42,726

A California player won $42,726 in the SuperLotto Plus lottery after buying a ticket at a Chevron station in Prunedale, according to Fresno Bee. The ticket matched five of the six numbers needed but missed the mega number, falling short of the $50 million jackpot. The winning numbers were 2, 6, 7, 35, and 44, with a mega number of 13.
Over 130,000 other SuperLotto Plus tickets also won smaller prizes in the same drawing, with prize amounts ranging from $1 to $1,017. To win the full jackpot, players must match all five numbers plus the mega number. Tickets cost $1 each and can be purchased at participating lottery retailers across California.
SuperLotto Plus has six numbers to match: five main numbers between 1 and 47, plus one mega number between 1 and 27. Matching fewer numbers still wins prizes. This player matched five main numbers but missed the mega number, which is why the prize was $42,726 instead of the full jackpot. The estimated jackpot for the next drawing stands at $51 million with a cash value of about $22 million.
The lucky ticket came from a Chevron gas station in Prunedale, California, according to Fresno Bee. Prunedale is a small community in Monterey County on California's central coast. Lottery tickets are sold at thousands of retail locations statewide, but finding a big winner at any single location is still relatively rare.
The single $42,726 winner was one of more than 130,000 SuperLotto Plus tickets that won prizes in this drawing, Fresno Bee reported. Prize amounts ranged from just $1 for matching the fewest numbers up to $1,017 for matching more combinations. Most lottery drawings produce thousands of smaller winners alongside any large jackpot winners.
