Homeless Man Claims $1 Million Lottery Prize in California

A homeless man in San Luis Obispo, California, became an instant millionaire after winning a $1 million lottery scratcher from a local liquor store. The store owner, Wilson Samaan, expressed excitement for the longtime customer, highlighting their close relationship and the winner's deserving nature. Initially believing he had won a smaller prize, the man was later informed of the full amount and is planning to use the winnings to buy a house and car. Samaan helped the winner by driving him to the California Lottery office for verification, a process that could take weeks. As the retailer, Samaan's store will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. The California Lottery is conducting a thorough review to confirm the winner's eligibility.
