California Lottery Daily lottery results – Monday, February 16, 2026

Bad news for players chasing a life-changing receipt from the claim center, but great news for the jackpot: SuperLotto Plus is still wearing that $28 Million crown. If you were hoping tonight would be the night your lucky ticket turned into a cash lump sum conversation with your accountant, the odds had other plans (they usually do; they’re consistent like that).

Still, we’ve got clean results, tidy stat lines, and just enough number weirdness to keep the dream alive—specifically in Fantasy 5, where the draw decided even numbers were simply not invited.

California Fantasy 5 results (Feb 16, 2026)

Winning numbers: 1-3-15-17-21. Jackpot posted: $156,000.

This one reads like a minimalist’s grocery list: mostly low-to-mid values with a compact spread. Three of the five numbers (15, 17, 21) live in the teen-to-low-20s band, while 1 and 3 keep the whole thing grounded near the floor. No consecutive numbers showed up—so if you were clinging to 15-16 or 20-21 runs, you got only half the satisfaction.

The spicy part? Odd numbers went five-for-five. That doesn’t mean there’s a mystical “even correction” coming next draw—lottery balls don’t believe in emotional balance—but it does flag today as a statistically punchy outlier compared with a more typical 3/2 or 2/3 split.

The TrendPick AI Engine detected a “compressed distribution with an all-odd skew,” which is a fancy way of saying: the draw clustered and leaned hard into one parity. If you’re building picks for the next round, it’s a nudge to think about coverage across bands rather than overreacting to the odd-only cameo.

California SuperLotto Plus results (Feb 16, 2026)

Winning numbers: 5-13-14-26-42 + Mega Ball: 20. Jackpot displayed: $28 Million.

SuperLotto Plus gave us a more “textbook random” personality. You’ve got a tidy little pair (13 and 14) sitting back-to-back—one of the few places the draw flirted with a pattern—plus a long reach up to 42 to make sure the top end of the board got some love. The Mega Ball landed on 20, a clean round number that always feels like it should mean something profound. It doesn’t. But it looks great printed on a ticket.

From a metrics standpoint, the sum of 100 is wonderfully middle-of-the-road. The odd/even mix (2 odd, 3 even) is equally polite. The range of 37, however, says this draw covered plenty of territory, which is exactly what you want if you’re the kind of player who hates “all the numbers were bunched together” postmortems.

And about that jackpot: this report doesn’t indicate it was hit, which means the big prize is still doing what big prizes do—growing up, getting expensive, and making you reconsider your relationship with probability.

Pattern watch & number behavior – California games (Feb 16, 2026)

Put the two games side by side and the contrast is the story. Fantasy 5 went compact and quirky (low sum, tight range, all odd). SuperLotto Plus went broad and balanced (wide range, normal parity, a single consecutive pair). In other words: one game strutted into the room wearing a loud jacket, the other showed up in a well-tailored suit.

Low vs. high distribution also split neatly: Fantasy 5 leaned heavily to the lower half of its board, while SuperLotto Plus touched low (5), mid (13, 14, 26), and high (42). If you’re tracking your own “number diet,” today’s takeaway is that randomness doesn’t owe you symmetry across games—even on the same date.

Prize tiers, odds, and how to claim (without tripping over the fine print) – Feb 16, 2026

Every game has multiple prize tier checkpoints, and most winners (yes, most) happen below the jackpot level. If you matched a smaller tier, you may be looking at a fast claim process—sometimes right at a retailer—while larger prizes can require a visit to a claim center. For jackpot-level wins, winners often get a choice between an annuity and a cash lump sum option where applicable (rules vary by game and jurisdiction; confirm with California Lottery).

One practical tip: sign the back of your ticket, take a photo for your records, and verify your numbers through official channels. The odds are already enough of a villain; you don’t need “lost ticket” joining the cast.
