ICYMI: A man in Fremont won $5 million, a man in Marin County took home $2 million and a new mother in San Jose won $1 million -- all on lottery Scratchers games.
In San Jose, the number 10 proved to be lucky for Charina Fujita, who had just given birth on Oct. 10. A few days later, she picked up a Power 10's ticket at the Chevron station on Berryessa Road in San Jose and won $1 million.
"The day that I went out, it was my first time out in a while. I scratched row 10 first. There was no symbol. I scratched higher up, and I saw a symbol. I checked the Lottery app, and then I knew I had won big," Fujita told California Lottery officials. Each of the retailers that sold the jackpot tickets receives a bonus equaling one-half of 1% of the winning amount.
