In other lotto news, California Lottery announced that Sergio Ignacio recently won $333,127 from a Fantasy 5 ticket. A trip to a local laundromat on St. Patrick’s Day turned out to be very lucky.

"I won, and I couldn’t believe it," said Sergio who lives in northern California. "We plan to use the money to make a down payment on a house since God answered our prayers."

According to the press release:

Sergio . . . bought eight tickets in total and the winning one was a combination of birthdays, as well as the day his mother passed away.

That winning ticket for Sunday night’s Fantasy 5 draw was sold at Victoria Liquors and Food, which is located at 22 South Park Victoria Drive in Milpitas (Santa Clara County). The ticket successfully matched the numbers 1, 14, 6, 31, and 8.
