Homeless Man Wins $1 Million on Scratch Ticket
A homeless man in San Luis Obispo, California, won $1 million from a Triple Red 777 scratch-off ticket purchased at Sandy’s Deli-Liquor, where odds of winning are over 1 in 2 million. Store manager Wilson Samaan, who described the man as a longtime customer, verified the win and drove him to the California Lottery office in Fresno for secure prize claiming. The winner initially believed he had won $100,000 but was elated to find it was $1 million, stating, 'I'm not homeless anymore,' and plans to buy a house, a car, and save the rest. The California Lottery will conduct a vetting process, including verifying identity and outstanding debts, which could take several weeks to months. The win has sparked celebration among local community members and business owners. Separately, a man in Massachusetts also won $1 million on a scratch ticket, opting for a lump-sum payout.
