California Lottery delivered a Gas Giveaway in Bakersfield today

$50 in gas was given to the first 200 people who lined up at the Chevron station along Rosedale Highway in exchange for a $10 purchase of Daily 4 tickets. Daily 4 is the Lottery’s newest game.



“The response to our Gas Giveaway in Bakersfield has been remarkable,” said California Lottery Director Joan Borucki. “We greatly appreciate the millions of players that have purchased our products over the past 23 years. We hope that each person who came today was able to experience the fun and excitement we believe the California Lottery has come to represent.”

Tickets for the new Daily 4 game cost only $1. Players must match all four numbers to win, although the order of the numbers does not need to match. The estimated top prize is $5,000. More information is available at www.calottery.com/Games/dailyfour.

More than a million winning tickets are issued every month by the California Lottery. Last year Lottery sales topped more than $3 billion for the fourth consecutive year.

The Gas Giveaway in Bakersfield is one of several giveaways planned around the state. Surprising Californians at the gas pump is seen as a way to remind people of the fun and excitement the Lottery offers with many games that cost only $1 to play.

More than 95 cents of every Lottery dollar is returned to the community in the form of contributions to education, prizes and retail commissions. The California Lottery contributes at least 34 cents of every dollar that players spend on Lottery products to public education and returns more than 50 percent of sales to players in the form of prizes. Since its inception in 1985, the Lottery has contributed more than $20 billion to California schools out of total sales of nearly $55 billion. Retailers benefit too, earning $3.5 billion in compensation since 1985.
