Lottery player spends $2 on CA game. Now they will get a prize for next 25 years
A Northern California lottery player will get a chunk of money for the next 25 years after winning a massive prize.
Roseann Saporita bought a $2 Set for Life scratch-off from a MD Liquor & Food in Santa Rose, the California Lottery said in a June 4 news release.
Saporita played the game, and it revealed a $1.2 million prize, lottery officials said.
Instead of taking the lump sum option, Saporita chose to get a $4,000 monthly payment for the next 25 years.
Another player won the same prize in Southern California.
Hugo Brenes bought a ticket from a Mobil Station in Lakewood, which is in Los Angeles County, the lottery office said.
Unlike Saporita, Brenes decided to take the lump sum option of $696,000.
