37, 6, 40, 20, 49, 46 Add Up to $7,739,645.40--Twice

Two people, including someone in the Diamond Bar area near Pomona, won $7,739,645.40 each in the California State Lottery’s “Lotto 6/49” game, a lottery spokesman said Sunday.

John Schade said the lottery computer determined that one of the tickets with all six winning numbers was sold at a 7-Eleven market in Diamond Bar, and that the other was sold at a Circle K Market on Bradshaw Road in Sacramento.

The winning numbers, drawn at random, were 37, 6, 40, 20, 49 and 46; bonus number was 33.

Two tickets were winners in the 5-of-6 plus bonus number category, and the holders of those two receipts will each be paid $651,665 in a lump sum, Schade said. Those tickets were sold at the Country Market in Santa Barbara and Fulton Square in Sherman Oaks.

The names of the big winners will not be known until they present themselves and their tickets at a state Lottery office.

Lotto ticket sales for the week were a record 12.2 million, Schade added. Next week’s jackpot should be worth between $3 million and $3.5 million, he said.
