What time are the California lottery drawings?
Powerball is drawn
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 PM ET, and Mega Millions
Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 PM ET. Those times are the same everywhere the games are sold. California's own games draw on local time: daily numbers games often draw twice a day, midday and evening, while lotto-style games usually draw at night. Each game's page on Lottery Atlas shows its exact draw days and time, and our guide to
what time lottery drawings happen covers every game.

How old do you have to be to play the lottery in California?
You must be at least 18 years old to buy a lottery ticket in California, and retailers may ask for ID.
Can I remain anonymous if I win the lottery in California?
Not guaranteed. We could not confirm a California law that keeps lottery winners' names private, so assume your name and hometown may be released. Ask the lottery how it handles winner information before you claim.
How much tax will I pay on lottery winnings in California?
California does not tax California Lottery prizes, so no state tax is withheld. If you live in another state, your home state may tax the prize. The federal government withholds 24% from prizes over $5,000. Withholding is only a prepayment: what you owe depends on your total income for the year, and most of a jackpot-sized prize is taxed at the top federal rate of 37%, so expect to owe more when you file. A tax professional can help you plan before you claim a large prize.
How long do I have to claim a lottery prize in California?
Most California Lottery draw-game prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw. State law allows up to one year for some multistate jackpot and grand prizes, so check the game rules if you hold a big Powerball or Mega Millions ticket. Scratchers have their own deadline, counted from the end of the game. Unclaimed prizes are forfeited. If you win a jackpot, ask the lottery how and when you choose between the cash option and the annuity, because the rules differ from state to state.
Where do California Lottery profits go?
California Lottery profits go mainly to public education, from K-12 schools through community colleges, CSU and UC. Prizes, retailer commissions and operating costs are paid first.
