A lucky woman from San Jose, California became the second lottery player this year to win the $20 million jackpot on a Scratchers Set For Life Millionaire Edition Scratch-Off ticket, the California Lottery announced.
Mary Orozco was visiting the Hawaiian Islands when she discovered she had the ticket with the largest prize in the history of the California Lottery.
“I usually play the $5 games, but decided I was just going to splurge and go for the big one. I checked it on my phone, using the lottery app, to make sure I was a winner,” the lucky woman said, according to NBC Bay Area.
Orozco purchased the jackpot ticket at Ron’s Liquors store, whose owners will receive a bonus of $100 one thousand dollars just for selling the ticket.
Orozco said that previously he had already won $1, dollars with a Scratchers ticket that he also bought at Ron’s.
Orozco chose to take the money in a single payment of $000.6 million dollars (before taxes) instead of the $800 thousand dollars per year during 25 years.
Just last month, another player from California was the first to claim the record jackpot of $20 million dollars in the game Scratchers Set For Life Millionaire Edition.
