East Bay man wins $1 million lotto scratcher, shrugs
http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/East-Bay-man-wins-1-million-lotto-scratcher-6254499.phpAn East Bay man is approximately $1 million richer after buying a winning California Lottery Scratchers ticket in Concord, but you wouldn’t know it from his reaction.
Israel Martinez Sotero went into the Super Liquor & Food on Monument Boulevard to buy a Vitaminwater, according to the California Lottery, and decided to purchase an Emerald 10’s scratcher. He quickly scratched the ticket and realized he’d just won $1 million.
Did Sotero go straight to a casino to put it all on black? Did he run to the nearest Benz dealership so he could get his dream ride? Nope.
“I went back to the car and I just went home,” he said. “It wasn’t much excitement. I was like … cool, I won.”
