SuperLotto Plus is a lotto game played in the style of Mega Millions and Powerball. SuperLotto Plus is drawn every Wednesday and Saturday.

The first modern government-run US lottery was established in Puerto Rico in 1934. [8] This was followed, decades later, by the New Hampshire Lottery in 1964. Instant lottery tickets, also known as scratch cards, were introduced in the 1970s and have become a major source of lottery revenue.
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.
