1,726 7-Eleven locations officially licensed to sell lottery tickets in California, sourced directly from the state's official open-data portal. 🏆 2 of them are verified prize-winning stores.
Every 7-Eleven location listed above holds a valid license from the California Lottery to sell tickets, meaning the store has passed the state's retailer requirements and reports its lottery sales the same way any other licensed dealer does. As a national or regional chain, 7-Eleven locations tend to offer fairly consistent hours and a full lineup of whatever draw games and scratch-offs California currently runs, though exact selection and hours vary a bit store-to-store — it's always worth a quick call if you're timing a purchase around a jackpot deadline.
2 7-Eleven locations in California have a documented history of selling a winning ticket. That's a reflection of how many tickets these stores move — chains with more locations and more foot traffic naturally accumulate more wins over time — rather than any location having better odds. Every ticket at every 7-Eleven in California carries the exact same odds as a ticket bought anywhere else in the state.
If a ticket from one of these locations pays off, small prizes can usually be cashed right at the register where you bought it. Larger prizes require a trip to an official California Lottery claim center with the signed ticket and a government-issued photo ID — the store itself won't be able to pay out a jackpot-sized win.
