$1 Million Scratchers Ticket Sold at Orange County Fair

A lucky individual won $1 million from a Multiplier Craze Scratchers ticket purchased at the California Lottery LIVE! booth during the Orange County Fair last week. The booth, operated by 5 Star Liquor from Westminster, has been a source of excitement, with the store's owner, Maysa Dagher, recalling how the winner expressed disbelief and requested discretion about his win. While the winner has not yet claimed the prize, they can do so by visiting one of nine California Lottery offices or by mailing in the ticket. The CA Lottery LIVE! booth will remain at the fair until August 19, and there is a similar booth at the Ventura County Fair until August 11. Meanwhile, in Newburgh, New York, a separate winning ticket worth $30,137 was sold for the TAKE 5 drawing, continuing the trend of lottery excitement across the country.
