California's New June Scratch-Offs

The California Lottery launched four new scratch-offs on June 22, 2026, spanning $2 to $20. Golden State Riches headlines the group with one of the best ValueScores of any active game in the state. Here's the full breakdown.

One note before the games: California scratch-offs use a pari-mutuel prize structure, meaning the published prize amounts are targets that can vary slightly based on ticket sales and the number of winners in each tier. The figures below reflect the advertised prizes and the current data.

Golden State Riches ($20)

Golden State Riches is the standout launch, opening with a ValueScore of 94, which ScratchCheck rates as Excellent. Overall odds of 1 in 2.89, a 79.2% payout rate, a top prize of $5,000,000, and all 7 top prizes remaining. The expected value is $0.79 per dollar spent, well above average, and at 1 in 2.89 you win something on roughly 35% of tickets. That combination of tight odds, strong payout, and a fully intact prize pool makes it not just the best of today's launches but one of the best $20 games in California right now. The clear pick.

Neon Jackpot ($10)

Neon Jackpot covers the $10 tier with a ValueScore of 76, rated Good. Overall odds of 1 in 3.42, a 74.2% payout, a top prize of $1,000,000, and all 8 top prizes remaining. The expected value is $0.74 per dollar, above average for the price, and the intact prize pool gives it a solid opening. A strong $10 option behind the Golden State Riches flagship.

Ca$h Doubler ($2)

Ca$h Doubler is a $2 game with a ValueScore of 52, rated Fair. Overall odds of 1 in 4.24, a 65.6% payout, a top prize of $20,000, and all 15 top prizes remaining. Notably, its ValueScore edges out the more expensive SuperLotto Plus Multiplier below it, a reminder that price doesn't always track value. For a $2 ticket, the 65.6% payout is reasonable, and the deep intact prize pool is a plus. A fine low-stakes buy.

SuperLotto Plus® Multiplier ($5)

SuperLotto Plus® Multiplier is a $5 game with a ValueScore of 47, rated Fair. Overall odds of 1 in 3.81, a 63% payout, a top prize of $500,000, and all 13 top prizes remaining. The expected value of $0.63 per dollar is the lowest of the four new games, and the 63% payout trails the rest. The SuperLotto Plus branding ties it to California's draw game, but on the numbers it's the weakest value of today's launches. The deep prize pool is the main point in its favor.

The Verdict

Golden State Riches (VS 94) is the clear best buy of today's California launches, with the strongest combination of odds, payout, and prize pool of the four, and a spot among the best $20 games in the state. Neon Jackpot (VS 76) is a solid $10 follow-up. At the lower tiers, the $2 Ca$h Doubler (VS 52) actually offers slightly better value than the $5 SuperLotto Plus Multiplier (VS 47), so if you're spending small, the cheaper ticket is the smarter pick here.

All four are available now at authorized California Lottery retailers. For the full California scratch-off rankings across every active game, and to see them ranked by ValueScore, check ScratchCheck, sorted by odds, payout rate, and remaining top prizes.
