Store in Tujunga Sold $30-Million Ticket
A California Lottery ticket that can be redeemed for $30 million was purchased in Tujunga, state officials said Sunday.
Lottery spokeswoman Carolyn Walker said only one of the 32.5 million tickets purchased for Saturday night’s “Lotto 6-49” game had all six winning numbers: 3, 5, 25, 31, 33 and 36. The bonus number was 12. The winner will not be known until he or she steps forward to redeem it, Walker said. The lottery’s district offices were closed Sunday.
Other large jackpots have been split among several ticket-holders with the winning numbers, but Walker said Saturday’s game appears to have been the state’s biggest with one winning ticket.
She said the name of the business where the winning ticket was purchased would not be announced until officials had checked and secured the store’s lottery machine today.
Seventeen other tickets had five of the six winning numbers, plus the bonus, and each is worth almost $204,000, Walker said. These included tickets purchased in Northridge, Van Nuys and North Hollywood, she said.
