Major SuperLotto Plus Win in Westlake Village
On October 11, 2025, a SuperLotto Plus ticket sold at Village Spirit Shoppe in Westlake Village, California, won a jackpot of $50 million. The winning numbers for this drawing were 3, 13, 27, 32, 39, and the Mega Number was 4. This marks the largest SuperLotto Plus jackpot claimed in 2025 and the first time the top prize has been won since a $30 million ticket was sold on March 5, 2025. The store will receive a $250,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
In addition to the jackpot winner, two second-place tickets matched five numbers but missed the Mega Number, each worth $20,938. These tickets were sold at an Albertsons in Chula Vista and at Primm Valley Lotto in Nipton, California.
Powerball Results for October 13, 2025
On the same day, the Powerball drawing took place, with the jackpot rising to $258 million after no one won the previous drawing. The winning numbers for the Powerball on October 13 were 13, 14, 32, 52, 64, and the Powerball was 12. The drawing was delayed due to a technical issue and was eventually posted around 12:15 a.m. ET. No tickets matched all five numbers plus the Powerball, which means the jackpot will roll over to the next drawing on October 15, 2025.
Context and Implications
The SuperLotto Plus and Powerball lotteries are significant sources of funding for California's public schools. Approximately 40 cents of every dollar spent on SuperLotto Plus tickets goes directly to educational programs. Over the past 40 years, the California Lottery has generated more than $48 billion for public education, supporting various initiatives including athletics and after-school programs.
Criticism and Concerns
While lottery games provide substantial funding for education, they also raise concerns regarding gambling addiction. The California Lottery encourages responsible gambling and provides resources for those who may struggle with gambling-related issues. The national gambling hotline is available at 1-800-522-4700 for individuals seeking help.
Official Statements
Harjinder K. Shergill Chima, director of the California Lottery, stated, "For 40 years, the California Lottery has been more than just fun and games—we've been a partner in education and a force for good in communities across our state."
