Not taxable to CA, but it is taxable on the federal return.

Not for CA lottery and Mega Millions.  See instructions for Line 8: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2019/2019-540-ca-instructions.html

How do I enter the winnings so they're reported on federal but adjusted on schedule CA line 21?

You enter the W2G in the W2G worksheet and the EIN number should make it automatically pick it up as CA lottery winnings and make the adjustment on Form CA of teh California return.
