SACRAMENTO – A lucky California Lottery player that bought a Fantasy 5 ticket in Milpitas is soon going to have a lot more cash in their bank account. That’s because their ticket matched all five numbers in last night’s draw and is worth $268,451.
The ticket was sold at Ocean Supermarket, which is located at 2 South Park Victoria Drive in Milpitas. The winning numbers are 10, 32, 23, 16 and 39.
The California Lottery reminds winners to sign the backs of their tickets, keep tickets in a safe place and contact Lottery officials or visit their local Lottery District Office (www.calottery.com/AboutUs/Locations) as soon as possible.
Fantasy 5 offers some of the best odds of any California Lottery game. A player wins the Fantasy 5 jackpot simply by matching five numbers out of a field of 39. Winning numbers are drawn every day. The top prize starts at $50,000 and increases daily until it is hit. Tickets are $1 and can be purchased from any of the more than 21,000 California Lottery retailers (www.calottery.com/locations).
More than 95 cents of every Lottery dollar is returned to the community in the form of contributions to education, prizes and retail commissions. The California Lottery contributes at least 34 cents of every dollar that players spend on Lottery products to public education and returns more than 50 percent of sales to players in the form of prizes. Since its inception in 1985, Lottery players have contributed nearly $21 billion to California schools out of total sales of more than $56 billion. Retailers benefit too, earning $3.6 billion in compensation since 1985.
