SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – It only took $2 for a Scratchers player to end up with a prize worth $1.2 million.
California Lottery officials said Richard Tapia recently spent two bucks at Sun Valley Fuel in Escondido to play the “Decades of Dollars” game -- and he beat the odds (1 in 6,095,933, according to the Lottery) to come out a millionaire.
With the win, Tapia will receive $4,000 per month over 25 years, lottery officials said.
For selling the winning ticket, Sun Valley Fuel -- located on 550 N. Escondido Blvd. -- will receive a bonus check of $6,000.
