EL CERRITO — A trip Sunday to a Lucky supermarket here turned out to be just that for someone who won almost $120,000 playing the Fantasy 5 lottery game, officials said.
The still unknown person was one of three players statewide to select all five game numbers, which were 3, 6, 17, 18, and 33, with each of them winning $119,696.
The ticket was sold at the Lucky market located at 1000 El Cerrito Plaza.
A store employee said Monday she was not aware the ticket had been purchased there and had no idea who bought it. But she was happy for whoever they are.
“Wow, that’s awesome!” she said.
The other two winning tickets were sold at a convenience store in Holtville in Imperial County and at a liquor store in Huntington Beach.
The winner has 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize.
Fantasy 5 is played every night of the week. Monday’s jackpot was to be at least $72,000.
