The California State Lottery is a $6+ billion enterprise headquartered in Sacramento. It is one of the few state agencies that is a revenue generator, not accepting taxpayer dollars from the state’s general fund.

In fiscal year 17/18, the California State Lottery generated sales of approximately $6.3 billion with nearly $1.5 billion earned for California public schools. Lottery products are sold at more than 23,000 retail locations throughout the state, from independent neighborhood shops to convenience stores, liquor stores to supermarkets, and more. Retail product offerings include an average of 24 fun and entertaining Scratchers games and several draw games, including jackpot games such as Powerball, Mega Millions, and SuperLotto Plus, and daily games such as Fantasy 5 and Hot Spot.
As part of the larger Sales & Marketing Division, the Marketing department is responsible for product development and management as well as consumer marketing and advertising. Through the alignment of strong product plans, highly effective marketing campaigns and sales team efforts, the Lottery has grown to be the second largest lottery in the country. Our goal is to become the largest lottery in the United States.
