California pays every Powerball and Mega Millions tier pari-mutuel, so the fixed prizes in the national chart are not what a California ticket wins — and it is the only state that sells no Power Play. At the jackpot standing after the October 26, 2026 draw, the jackpot alone is worth about $0.88 of a $2 Powerball ticket; the lower tiers are pari-mutuel here and are not the published amounts. The best California scratcher on sale returns 83c — no jackpot, but far more of the money comes back. Every one, ranked.

What is different in California
- Ticket price
- $2 a line, all in
- The $2 base ticket, and nothing to add to it.
- Power Play
- Not sold here
- California pays pari-mutuel, and a multiplier cannot be promised against a prize pool that is a fixed share of sales.
- Double Play
- Not sold here
- One of the 18 jurisdictions that do not offer it; the other 30 do.
- Prize structure
- Pari-mutuel
- Every tier is split among that draw's California winners instead of paying a set amount, so the $4, $7, $100, $50,000 and $1,000,000 in the national chart are not what a California ticket wins.
- State withholding
- None
- Has income tax but exempts California Lottery prizes. Federal withholding of 24% applies on top, everywhere.
- Minimum age
- 18
- California State Lottery's own rule. Five jurisdictions set it higher: four at 21 and one at 19.

California lottery questions
- What lottery games can you play in California?
- Mega Millions, Powerball, plus California State Lottery's own games: Daily 3, Daily 4, Fantasy 5, SuperLotto Plus. We hold 888 of their draws, the oldest from October 22, 2025.
- Does California sell Power Play and Double Play?
- Neither. California is the only jurisdiction that sells no Power Play, because its prizes are pari-mutuel rather than fixed, and it is not among the 30 lotteries that offer Double Play.
- How much tax does California withhold from lottery winnings?
- Nothing — has income tax but exempts California Lottery prizes. Federal withholding of 24% still applies. The calculator does the rest.
- Which California lottery game has the best odds?
- Fantasy 5, at 1 in 8.77 of winning something — though the prizes are correspondingly smaller, and winning often is not the same as winning much. A scratcher is a different proposition again: the best on sale in California now returns about 83 cents on the dollar.
- Where do these California numbers come from?
- Straight from California State Lottery's own published results, read every day, and the multi-state games are cross-checked against several official sources before we publish them. Every source is listed here. The California rules on this page were read from powerball.com and California State Lottery on September 22, 2026.
