SACRAMENTO—Two months after a winning $425 million Powerball® ticket was sold in Milpitas, another millionaire has been made in this Northern California city. This time the lucky lottery player won big playing the $2 California Lucky for Life Scratchers game.
Vinayak Pandit uncovered a “LIFE” symbol and won $1,000 a week for 25 years. That’s a grand total of $1.3 million. He’ll now have the option of choosing between weekly payments or the lump sum cash option of $750,000 up front.
Pandit purchased the winning ticket at Victoria Liquors, which is located at 22 S. Park Victoria in Milpitas (Santa Clara County). The owner of the store will receive a retailer bonus of $6,500 just for selling the winning ticket.
