SuperLotto Plus is a lotto game played in the style of Mega Millions and Powerball. SuperLotto Plus is drawn every Wednesday and Saturday. The game began in 1986 as Lotto 6/49 (which was played similarly to the Canadian version of the game), then changed to SuperLotto somewhere in the 90s (with the matrix of 6/51).
The add-on game The Kicker (see above) was "transferred" from Super Lotto Plus to Mega Millions in 2005; Ohio ended The Kicker when the Megaplier (which began as a Texas-only option) was available to Ohio players of Mega Millions in 2011. Mega Millions' starting jackpot is $40 million, paid in 30 graduated installments; a cash option is available.

Some U.S. lotteries also offer a smaller "mega-number" game. For example, California offers SuperLotto Plus, where the first five numbers are drawn from a set of 47 white balls; its Mega number is drawn from a set of 27 purple balls by a second machine. Pennsylvania once offered a jackpot game where the order drawn did matter.
California Lottery officials on Saturday announced that a winning SuperLotto Plus ticket worth $82 million was sold in Victorville.
