California Lottery Overview
The California lottery offers a variety of draw games and scratch-off tickets. Players in California can participate in multi-state games like Powerball and Mega Millions, as well as state-specific games. One major advantage for California lottery winners is that the state does not impose a state income tax on lottery winnings, meaning winners only pay federal taxes.
