A Win-Win-Win Situation in Lottery
One line on Miguel Chung’s Lotto ticket won $1,984.
So did a second one.
The third line won a little more: $8 million.
Chung won’t be working nights at the AM-PM mini-mart in Costa Mesa anymore.
The 23-year-old Cypress College student hit the jackpot this weekend. And then he hit it a couple more times.
Chung, who lives with his parents in Downey, declined to be interviewed Monday, and lottery officials canceled a news conference scheduled for today at the family’s request.
“They were smiling and excited,” said Herman C. Dustman, district manager for the California Lottery’s Santa Ana office. “But in a real quiet way.”
