Unhoused man wins $1m jackpot from California lottery scratcher
Briefly

A homeless man in California won a $1 million lottery prize from a scratcher ticket purchased at Sandy's Deli-Liquor. After mistakenly believing he had won $100,000, he was ecstatic to learn he had actually won the larger sum. The store manager, Wilson Samaan, helped the winner by driving him to Fresno to claim his prize in person. With plans to use the money for a down payment on a home and a car, the win is expected to change his life significantly. This particular scratcher ticket has odds of 1 in 2,047,423.
The winner told the outlet that the prize was life-changing and that he planned to use it for a down payment on a home in the area and for a car.
The man initially thought he had won $100,000 before Samaan confirmed he had in fact won $1m.
