49ers Game Day Scratchers Deliver $1 Million Wins Across California

Even though the San Francisco 49ers came up short in their playoff matchup against Seattle, some fans still walked away as big winners — thanks to a popular lottery scratcher tied to the team.

Big Wins for Niners Fans

The California Lottery confirmed that the San Francisco 49ers Game Day Scratchers delivered three massive $1 million wins across the state, including one right in the Bay Area.

One of the lucky winners, Robert Hillard, bought his ticket at a cardroom and sports bar in Antioch and scratched his way to a seven-figure payday. Two more players also hit the $1 million jackpot after purchasing their tickets in Stockton and Paso Robles.

The lottery summed it up best by saying team spirit turned into a seven-figure reality for these players.

Not Just the 49ers

It wasn’t only Niners fans getting lucky. Two players who picked Los Angeles Rams Game Day Scratchers also scored $1 million each, with winning tickets sold in San Diego and Bakersfield.

How the Game Worked

Launched in August, the special-edition scratchers were created in partnership with California’s three NFL teams:

• San Francisco 49ers

• Los Angeles Rams

• Los Angeles Chargers

Players could choose their favorite team, with tickets priced at $10.

Second-Chance Bonus Draw Magic

Even non-winning tickets still had value. A second-chance bonus drawing gave players another shot at exclusive NFL-themed prizes and fan experiences.

? The biggest bonus prize?

• Super Bowl tickets

• $15,000 cash

• A true once-in-a-lifetime fan experience

Three bonus winners snagged Super Bowl trips after buying tickets in Los Banos, Encino, and Los Angeles.

Game Over for the 49ers Scratchers

Just like the Niners’ season, the 49ers Game Day Scratchers have officially wrapped up, with all prizes now claimed. Players have until July 19, 2026, to redeem any winning tickets.

There’s still hope for fans willing to back an L.A. team:

• Rams Scratchers: 1 top prize still available

• Chargers Scratchers: 5 top prizes remaining

A Win Beyond the Game

Beyond the big checks, the California Lottery says its games have generated over $48 billion for public schools since launching in 1985 — turning lucky moments into lasting impact.
