  CA Lottery posts jackpots for all their draw games except Daily 3 and Daily 4. Jackpots for Daily 3 and Daily 4 are only determined after the draws have been conducted.

  That's because Cali is a parimutuel state. It takes them some time to calculate the payouts, based on the jackpot amount divided accordingaling.
