Jackpot! And … jackpot? California teen hits it big twice in one week.
Think you’re lucky? A California teenager just hit the jackpot twice in one week.
Rosa Dominguez, 19, stopped in Paso Robles on her way home from Arizona and bought a few Scratchers tickets, reports the California Lottery. One, a $5 Power 5 ticket, yielded the $555,555 top prize.
“I was so nervous I just wanted to cry,” Dominguez said. A few days later, still reeling, she visited a gas station in Greenfield, Monterey County, and bought a single $5 Lucky Fortune Scratcher ticket.
That one yielded the $100,000 top prize.
Dominguez told the California Lottery she plans to go shopping and buy a new car with her winnings.
