San Jose Store Sells $14 Million Winning SuperLotto Ticket

San Jose, Calif. – A family-owned liquor store in San Jose is celebrating after selling a winning SuperLotto Plus ticket worth $14 million. Maple Leaf Liquors sold the jackpot ticket for Saturday’s drawing, according to the California Lottery.

The store will receive a bonus for the sale. The owner mentioned they plan to ‘pay some taxes’ with the extra money.

The identity of the $14 million winner has not yet been revealed. Meanwhile, the next SuperLotto Plus jackpot, scheduled for Wednesday, stands at $7 million.

The Mega Millions jackpot is also on the rise. After no one matched all six numbers in Friday’s drawing, the prize has grown to $900 million and could reach $1 billion by Tuesday’s draw.

The last Mega Millions jackpot was won on June 27. The record for the most consecutive drawings without a winner was set in January 2021 during the pandemic, when the jackpot reached $1.05 billion. The current Mega Millions prize has an estimated cash value of $415.3 million.

In the SuperLotto Plus drawing, tickets were sold with all six numbers: 12, 26, 30, 38, 42, and the Mega number was 4. This was the eighth drawing since a ticket with all six numbers was sold.

The jackpot for Wednesday’s SuperLotto Plus drawing will reset to $7 million. According to the California Lottery, the odds of matching all five numbers and the Mega number are 1 in 41,416,353.
