$6.8-Million Lotto Ticket Purchased in County
Two winning Lotto tickets, each worth about $6.8 million, were purchased in San Juan Capistrano and San Francisco, but neither winner has come forward, state lottery officials said Thursday.
Five other tickets from the midweek Lotto 6/49 drawing Wednesday night had five correct numbers plus the bonus number, so each is worth $368,176.
One of those five tickets was purchased in Westminster, while two others were bought in the San Bernardino County town of Fontana. The others were bought in Canoga Park and in the Alameda County community of Fremont.
The two jackpot winners each picked all six numbers: 16, 23, 30, 33, 34, 45. The bonus number was 15. The players will split the $13.6-million jackpot, receiving their payoffs in annual checks of $272,000--after taxes--for 20 years, lottery officials said.
An additional 207 ticket holders who picked five of six numbers will split $948,267, receiving $4,581 each, and 13,582 players won $63 each by choosing four of six numbers.
There were 269,514 tickets with three of six numbers, worth an automatic $5, from a $1,347,570 prize pool.
The numbers were chosen Wednesday by a Lotto machine during a television broadcast originating in Sacramento.
