You've probably wondered at some point whether it's actually possible to join an American lottery from Nigeria. It is, and California SuperLotto Plus is a great place to start. It's one of California's own lottery games, and with WeLoveLotto, you pick your numbers, pay in naira, and we do the rest. No flying anywhere. No fighting with a foreign card that gets declined for no reason. Just something you can sort out from your phone in a few minutes.
SuperLotto Plus has been running for years, and over that time it's produced some genuinely big winners. It's simple enough that someone playing for the first time can jump straight in, but it still carries that thrill of chasing a jackpot that could actually change your life.
The jackpot opens at a guaranteed minimum, then keeps growing every time nobody wins it. Since it changes after every draw, whatever figure you see on our site is the live number, not something stale from last week. SuperLotto Plus isn't a fixed prize game either. It's pari-mutuel, so the final jackpot depends on how many tickets get sold before that particular draw.
Quite a few Nigerian players are drawn to this one because it offers a real shot at a jackpot running into tens of millions of dollars, and you're getting in with a naira deposit, nothing more complicated than that.
Draws come twice a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays. California is several hours behind us, so the draw tends to fall late at night or early morning here, and the exact time can move slightly depending on US daylight saving. Our honest advice: don't wait until the last minute, buy your ticket a few hours before the draw closes. Once results are in, they go up on our site straight away, so you're not left refreshing some random forum to find out what happened.
Playing SuperLotto Plus really comes down to two sets of numbers. Sounds like a mouthful the first time you read it, but do it once and it just makes sense.
Start with 5 numbers from 1 to 47. These are your main numbers, and matching all five is the biggest piece of winning the jackpot. Some people go with dates that mean something to them, a birthday, an anniversary. Others just leave it to chance.
Then there's one more number, the Mega number, picked from a separate range of 1 to 27. It's drawn on its own, apart from the main five, and matching it alongside your other numbers is what actually seals a jackpot win. It plays into a handful of the smaller prizes too.
Not in the mood to pick your own numbers? Lucky Pick throws up a random line for you in a couple of seconds. Won something small last time, or you've just got a combination you're loyal to? Play Last Numbers brings it back without you typing it all out again. And if logging in for every draw sounds like too much, Multi-Draw just carries your numbers forward on its own.
It really doesn't take long. Here's the whole process, step by step.
Pick your 5 main numbers and your 1 Mega number, or hit Lucky Pick and let the system sort it for you.
Fancy more shots at it in one draw? You can add extra lines, up to 30 of them, each carrying its own combination.
Wednesday, Saturday, or both, it's up to you and what your budget allows for that week.
If you've grown attached to a set of numbers, you can lock them in for several weeks instead of re-entering everything each time.
Before you pay, run your eye over your numbers, your draw days, and how many weeks you've chosen. Once that's all correct, go ahead and pay in naira through any of our supported options.
As soon as your payment clears, WeLoveLotto purchases your real SuperLotto Plus ticket in California and uploads a scanned copy to your account. Your entry is a proper, physical ticket sitting somewhere in California, not just a line of numbers on a screen.
SuperLotto Plus spreads across 9 prize tiers, so there's more than one way to walk away with something, even if the jackpot isn't yours this time.
Match all 5 main numbers plus the Mega number and the jackpot is yours. Match the 5 main numbers without the Mega number and you still pocket a solid fixed second prize. From there it steps down: 4 main numbers with the Mega number, then 4 alone, then 3 plus the Mega number, all the way down to matching just the Mega number by itself, which still pays something. The lower tiers are fixed amounts, while the jackpot and second prize rise and fall with how many tickets were sold.
Landing the jackpot sits around 1 in 41 million. No pretending otherwise, that's a long shot. But winning something, anything, across all the tiers combined, comes in at roughly 1 in 23. That's really the appeal here, the smaller wins are far more within reach than most people assume.
Some players enjoy keeping an eye on which numbers come up most, and which ones barely ever show, and we track this on our site for anyone who's curious. Worth remembering though, every draw is random, and nothing about the last draw decides what happens in the next one. Even so, plenty of players like factoring it in when they're building their own line.
Yes, and honestly, that's the entire point of WeLoveLotto. California law only allows tickets to be sold to people physically inside the US, so we work around that legally by acting as your courier. We buy the actual ticket in California using the numbers you picked, and you get to play from home, no flight required.
Once your order is placed and payment clears, our team on the ground in California buys the real SuperLotto Plus ticket from a licensed retailer, using your exact numbers. That ticket gets scanned and kept safe, and a copy shows up in your WeLoveLotto account so you can look at it yourself.
You don't need to think about exchange rates or foreign transaction fees at all. Every deposit and withdrawal on WeLoveLotto happens in naira, through payment methods you already use day to day. Once winnings are confirmed, they're converted and paid out to you in naira as well.
Smaller prizes drop straight into your WeLoveLotto wallet, ready to withdraw whenever you like. For bigger wins, our team in California handles the official claim for you, since it's our name on the physical ticket, acting purely as your agent, not yours. Once that's cleared, your winnings get sent across to you in naira.
Compared with Powerball and Mega Millions, SuperLotto Plus works with a smaller number range, which actually gives you better odds at the jackpot than either of those two bigger games. The trade-off is that SuperLotto Plus jackpots, while still huge by any normal standard, rarely reach the record-smashing figures Powerball and Mega Millions sometimes hit. If a fair shot with kinder odds matters more to you than a headline-grabbing number, SuperLotto Plus deserves a spot on your list alongside those two.
Lottery games are meant to stay fun. They're not a plan for fixing money problems, and they shouldn't be treated like one. Only play with money you can genuinely afford to lose, and never borrow to buy a ticket. WeLoveLotto is strictly for players 18 and above. If playing ever starts feeling like more than a bit of fun, step back and reach out for support.
It's a lottery game run by the California State Lottery, where players pick 5 main numbers from 1 to 47 and 1 Mega number from 1 to 27, with draws held every Wednesday and Saturday.
Yes, same game. "Plus" got added to the name once the Mega number was introduced, brought in specifically to push the jackpots higher.
Because of the time difference, draws usually fall late at night or early morning WAT. The exact time can shift a little with US daylight saving, so check the countdown on our site to be sure before you play.
The naira price for a single line is displayed clearly on our site and adjusts with the exchange rate, so you know exactly what you're paying before you check out.
Jackpot odds sit at around 1 in 41 million. Odds of winning any prize at all, across every tier combined, are much friendlier, roughly 1 in 23.
No. WeLoveLotto handles the ticket purchase and the prize claim in California for you. You play from Nigeria, and if luck goes your way, we take care of collecting it and getting your winnings to you in naira.
