You have a choice of being paid in 26 annual instalments or receiving a reduced cash value prize.

About 54% of California lotto income goes back to players in the form of prizes; around 34% supplements the public education budget; around 7% goes to lottery retailers, and the remainder covers the expenses of running the California lottery. Around one billion is contributed to the education budget, accounting for around 1.5% of California's funding for education. There are discussions in progress (Nov 07) regarding privatising the California lottery and broadening the benefits to California's citizens beyond the education field. Understandably, educationalists are not impressed by the fact that their funding may be compromised by political promises in the health area. The California lottery was born in 1984 with sales that year at 1.8 billion. Sales have steadily grown, up to more than $3.5 billion for the financial year 2005/6. However, even at $3.5 billion, California lottery underperforms most American lotteries in terms of sales per capita; probably a reason the arguments for privatisation have surfaced.
