A homeless man in California received a sum of money “that changes his life”, for a sum of $ 1 million, after hitting the fat prize in a scratch ticket, before proudly exclaiming: “Man, I am not homeless!”
The lucky winner, who has not been publicly identified, bought the Sandy’s Deli-Liquor ticket in San Luis Obispo, where he has been a client for a long time, said Sandy Wilson Samon Samon Manager Samaan to Ksby.
“He has come to the store, scratched her and says:” My God. Is that real? Wilson, can you come and take a look? “Samaan said.” I’m like, “Let me see,” so I took the ticket from my hand and went to the machine there. ”
“He is like,” Man, I’m no longer homeless! “I am like”, man, you hit the fat prize. “He says, ‘$ 100,000’ and I say, ‘no, brother.
Samaan then led the winner, who does not have a car, to Fresno to be able to deliver the ticket.
“He says:” Do I want to send it by mail? “And I said: ‘That is a ticket of one million dollars.
A spokesman for the Lottery of the State of CA said that some things have to happen before the money can be granted.
“With a ticket of one million dollars like this, the person presented can expect a very thorough research process,” said spokeswoman Carolyn Becker to The Outlet. “As you can imagine, we give a lot of money in Ca’s lottery, and we are happy to do it, but we because we make sure we are giving it to the right person.”
The research process can take a week or months because the lottery processes around 10,000 winning claims per month, Becker said.
The winner said he hopes to use the amount of money “that changes his life” to make an initial payment in a house along the central coast of California and obtain a car, before investing and saving the rest.
