A lucky shopper in Stockton won $1 million from a San Francisco 49ers Scratchers game purchased at Food 4 Less, 255 E. March Lane, California Lottery officials said. This top prize was announced last Wednesday, standing out among several recent high-value Scratchers wins across California, according to FOX40.
Other notable recent winners included a $750,000 Mystery Crossword Scratchers prize at Hi-Bon Liquor in Bell Gardens, and two $30,000 wins from Loteria and Monopoly Scratchers in Mill Valley and Anaheim, respectively. The Stockton win highlights the rare life-changing potential of Scratchers, even though such luck remains uncommon.
Stockton resident Rosalba Mendoza Salas won $1 million with a 50X The Cash Scratchers ticket sold at Corona Liquor on E. Main Street. Other recent winners were reported in Paso Robles, San Pedro, and Inglewood. "For every California Lottery game purchased, California public education receives extra funds," officials said, as per Record Net. Since 1985, the California Lottery has generated more than $48 billion for public schools, with funds intended to supplement, not replace, state and local school funding.
