The California Lottery confirms a winning $1 million Scratchers game was sold at the local store but has not yet officially confirmed a winner has claimed the prize as they vet the person who came forward with the lucky ticket.
"Oh yeah, he's happy. He is super happy, going to pay off his house, pay for kids' gifts, everything. He's excited about that for sure," said Mickey Singh, co-owner of the liquor store.
It's putting their small-town business in the spotlight with a new millionaire made.
The business is now seeing more foot traffic since the big win was announced over the weekend.
Also striving to strike gold are other regulars of the shop like Winters native John Hoskins, who plays the lottery every single day.
It's a game that brings him a smile, if nothing else.
Before Hoskins drove off, he let CBS13 know he had hit a stroke of luck.
He's not the only one hoping to scratch their way to striking it rich. Customer Carlos Cano also bought lottery tickets from the store on Tuesday.
"Paying my mortgage. My bills, credit cards, that's it," Cano said.
"Just making sure my family is set up. My kid, not so hard for him to come along," Hoskins said.
Since 1985, the California Lottery says it has funneled more than $147 billion back into California communities and public education.
