The Largest Lotto jackpot in California was $193 million on February 16th, 2002. There were 3 winning tickets. On November 6, 1984, 58 percent of California's voters approved Proposition 37, the California State Lottery Act. The Act provides that at least 34 percent of the Lottery revenues must go to public education. This supplemental funding provides schools with additional resources to meet their locally determined needs. The act specifies that the lottery is to be operated and administered by a Commission appointed by the Governor. The Legislature has the authority to amend the Lottery Act if, by doing so, it furthers the purposes of the Act. There are over 18,000 California Lottery retailers across the state of California.
