$40 Million Albany SuperLotto Plus Jackpot Claimed

ALBANY, CA — The anticipation has been growing for some two months now - who won the $40 million SuperLotto Plus jackpot in December? The ticket was purchased at Albany Hill Mini Mart in Albany.

The California Lottery announced on Wednesday that a group of five winners has stepped forward. Rexis de Guia has been named as one of the winners. The other four names are not being released publicly. And if you were hoping to see a group photo, lottery officials say the winners are camera shy.

The winning ticket dates back to the Dec. 16 drawing.

If reading about the winners has inspired you to take a chance on buying a lotto ticket, the current PowerBall jackpot is $165 million, MegaMillions is $136 million and SuperLotto Plus is $7 million. A ticket worth $20 million was purchased in Fontana for last Saturday's SuperLotto Plus drawing.
