Am I the only one who finds it odd that the jackpot increases by 1M per draw? I imagine with such a high jackpot people must be buying a lot of tickets
Power Ball and Mega Millions make the biggest jumps. Jumps or increases are a function of the Play volume (I think).
California Super Lotto used to make bigger jumps. Curious to know if the Game Play is down along with the relatively small fixed 1 million jump recently enacted.

Which came first?
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. The people who devised SLP's bizarre rollover rules probably thought it was a neat advertising strategy, but didn't realize nobody ever takes the annuity, and didn't foresee interest rate fluctuations that can cause the cash value to practically stagnate some weeks.
BTW, if you want to estimate SLP sales per drawing, multiply the total number of winners (all prize tiers) by 23.
Thats a dumb policy imo. Surely they would make more profit and be able to advertise a larger jackpot if they increased according to sales. I don't understand their reasoning?
The jackpot is now 4 times bigger than the powerball so I'm sure people will go crazy for tickets! wouldn't be surprised if somebody wins this wednesday

I'd like to give this lottery a try now, but thelotter doesn't sell online CA Superlotto Plus tickets. Does anyone know of a reputable online ticket purchase website for this lotto?

I'm with you...I'd like to see the Ca lottery give us an option to buy online. Anyone selling them online is doing so illegally. If you win and they don't pay you there is no recourse .
