wonderful Valentine that was!

prize for matching five white balls in the MEGA MILLIONS® drawing held on Friday, January 31st.

California Lottery:
Mitchell Reynolds is definitely a dedicated employee! While working his night shift at a mall last week, he scratched his California Lottery Black
Exclusive Scratchers ticket and found he had won $1 million---but finished his shift!
Craig Misewicz of San Diego discovered he had won $1 million on a California Gold Scratchers ticket. Being disabled, he had to come up with a way to go the
12.6 miles in order to redeem his winning ticket. So, he used a little psychology---knowing how most teenagers are perpetually hungry---and got a teen
friend to drive him to the lottery office with the promise of buying him a meal in return.
Nice trade-off!
Congrats to these lucky players!
