San Diego Man Wins $10M Prize From Scratch-Off Ticket

Talk about being on a lucky streak. This guy has the golden touch, and he is a whole lot richer.

San Diego resident Bradley Bullock was recently on a lucky streak. The day after he won $2,000 playing a slot machine at a local casino, Bullock stopped at a 7-11 for a “caffeine pick-me-up,” he says. He also grabbed a couple Scratchers game tickets, which he put in his pocket and promptly forgot about, he says. When he finally remembered the tickets, he discovered his ticket for the Royal Riches game was a $10 million winner.

“I knew I’d won before I even scratched it because I scanned the barcode with the Lottery app,” Bullock says. “So, I scratched to see if it was real.” Bullock opted to take the lump sum cash payout, meaning he ended up with $5.8 million. But his lucky streak still wasn’t over. “The very next night, a buddy of mine was doing a staycation back at the casino, and we ended up combining to win twenty-nine grand,” Bullock says. “Three days of wild luck!”

Fox40 says Bullock was one of a few people across California who have won big on Scratchers over the last few months, according to lotto officials.
