Heading into last night, the SuperLotto Plus jackpot had grown to $47 million. The winning numbers for the December 11, 2024, drawing were 11, 19, 24, 38, and 41, with the Mega number being 26.

One lucky ticket matched all of the numbers drawn to win the $47 million jackpot. That lucky ticket was purchased at Fresh Catch Seafood Market, located at 11618 South St. in Artesia.

How to claim your winnings

Do you happen to be holding onto this jackpot-winning ticket? If so, you have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim your prize.

To do so, you will need to download a claim form, which can be found here. The fastest way to claim your prize is to bring that claim form with you to one of the lottery’s district office, which are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST. No appointments are required and assistance is on a first-come first-serve basis.

However, the California Lottery Headquarters will not be processing claims from Monday, December 16, 2024, to January 2, 2025, for end-of-year accounting purposes.

You can also claim by mail. To do so, mail the original ticket and signed claim form, along with the Claim Authorization Receipt from a retailer (if you have it), to California State Lottery, 730 North 10th Street, Sacramento, CA 95811.
