Four lucky California Lottery players are especially thankful this Thanksgiving – thankful for the Scratchers tickets making them California’s newest millionaires.
Susan Lee Loy won $1,000,000 playing a 50X Fortune Scratchers ticket she picked up at the Circle K on Clay Street in Riverside. It wasn’t the first time she tried her luck at Scratchers.
“My friend said she had been lucky playing the $10 and $20 Scratchers tickets. I started playing and won $100,” Lee Loy told the California Lottery, and she didn’t stop there. “I went back to Circle K, and they had it (50X Fortune). I got all the way to the 10th spot, scratched it off, and saw that I won $20,000, and then the multiplier showed 50X. I downloaded the California Lottery app and scanned it. It said I won $1 million!” Lee Loy plans on investing the money.
Three other California Lottery players are also new millionaires, some several times over!
Simon Maida won a whopping $20,000,000 playing a Set For Life! Millionaire Edition Scratchers purchased at Village Wine and Spirits on Muirlands Boulevard in Lake Forest (Orange County).
Melanie Johnson won the top prize of $2,000,000 playing an Instant Prize Crossword Scratchers ticket from Shinar Pizza Market on East Bradley Avenue in El Cajon (San Diego County).
Finally, Erick Verdugo just won $1,000,000 playing a California Dreamin’ Scratchers ticket. That lucky ticket was purchased at a Sinclair station on East Pacheco Boulevard in Los Banos (Merced County).
