The California Lottery buzz is all about a lucky ticket holder who could 'easily be smiling all the way to the bank' after a recent SuperLotto Plus drawing. It's official, folks: one of the two winning tickets that matched five numbers from Saturday's draw was picked up at Primm Valley Lotto just across the Nevada-California border. This particular ticket is now worth a nifty $20,938. According to News 3 LV, the other similarly lucky ticket was sold in Chula Vista, San Diego's bustling suburb.
As excitement continues to build, it's easy to forget to properly check those tickets—but this time, someone definitely did not. A Los Angeles area resident managed to quickly scoop up the whopping $50 million jackpot by striking all six winning numbers, marking the heftiest payout provided by the SuperLotto Plus so far this year. This win also breaks a dry spell since the last jackpot of $30 million was won on March 5, as noted by 8 News Now, who received confirmation of the news directly from the California Lottery.
Here's the catch for Nevada natives: they must hop across state lines to throw their hats in the ring. Thanks to the state constitution, you won't find any state-sanctioned lottery within Nevada's borders. That's why Primm Valley Lotto, conveniently situated a stone's throw from the state divide, has become a veritable pilgrimage site for those feeling lucky. Gamblers must trek to either California or Arizona if they wish to try their hand at the lottery.
Now, here's the skinny on the jackpot-winning ticket: it was snapped up at the Village Spirit Shoppe located in Westlake Village, with the golden numbers being 3, 13, 27, 32, 39, and Mega number 4. Winners of these cash bonanzas have a full 180 days to happily come forward to claim their treasures.
