An unidentified San Luis Obispo, California homeless man seems soon to lose that status after winning $1 million on a scratch-off, the manager of the retailer that sold the lucky ticket tells KSBY.
“He came to the store, he scratched it and is like, ‘Oh, my god. Is that real? Wilson, can you come and take a look’?” said Wilson Samaan, manager at convenience store Sandy’s, adding “I’m like, ‘Let me see,’ so I grabbed the ticket out of his hand went to the machine over there. He’s like, ‘Man, I’m not homeless anymore!’ I’m like, ‘Man, you hit the jackpot.’ He’s like, ‘$100,000’ and I’m like, ‘No, bro.'”
And then the KSBY article was like “Thats $1 million. Congrats brother,’ so, and we gave each other a high five,” because they were like, quoting Samaan. “I drove him to Fresno I think the next day, or Wednesday, because he’s like, ‘Do I want to send it in the mail?’ And I told him, ‘That’s a million-dollar ticket. No, I will drive you.'” Cal Lotto says the winner can expect his money in a few months.
