Afterwards, Cha went to work and scraped off 20 tickets, but didn’t win a dime, ABC10 reported. Mr. Cha then went to work and he didn’t start chipping away at the remaining 10 tickets until he got home later that day.

According to the media, the last line of the final ticket contained a lucky number leading to Cha’s prize of $1 million.

“I was stunned! I scanned it with a lottery app to make sure it was true, and it was,” Cha told ABC10.

This isn’t the first time California lottery players have gotten lucky in recent weeks. The owner of Las Palmitas Minimart in Los Angeles won $1 million for being recognized as the retailer that sold $1.08 billion worth of Powerball championship tickets in July. Lottery officials awarded the check to Mabor Herrera, who ran the store for seven years.
