Local news in Brief : Anaheim : Family Ties Win Lotto Player $673,413

Sara Fields of Anaheim doesn’t have an 18-year-old child, which may be the only reason she did not win $4.8 million in the state’s Lotto 6/49 jackpot this weekend.

Still, Fields and another Anaheim resident picked five of the six winning numbers, each earning $673,413 in second-place money.

Fields, 39, the mother of four, picked winning numbers of 10, 15, 20, 39 and 43 and the bonus number, 16. She missed on 18.

Fields said the six numbers she has used since the Lotto 6/49 game began are the ages of her four children, plus the ages of her and her husband.

“Too bad we don’t have anybody 18,” she joked Sunday night.

Fields, who works at a dry cleaners in Orange, bought her ticket at the Stop N Go Market at 1500 S. Euclid St. in Anaheim. She said she would use her winnings to buy a house.

“This is just fantastic,” she said.

An employee of Beach Ball Liquor and Wines, at 1218 S. Beach Boulevard in Anaheim, said Sunday that the mother of Dana Mesa, a stock boy at the store, had purchased the second winning ticket.

However, the employee said he did not know the woman’s name, and her son was not working Sunday.

The $4,861,751 jackpot will roll over to Wednesday’s game, boosting the jackpot to about $9 million, California Lottery officials said.
