A lucky lottery Scratchers player in the East Bay is $10 million richer after buying a jackpot ticket recently while stopping at a gas station, according to the California Lottery.
Janet Coppedge hit the top prize on a California 200X Scratchers ticket she bought at A&A Gas and Food Mart in Dublin, the lottery said.
The gas station stands to get a hefty bonus prize for selling the jackpot ticket.
Meanwhile, jackpots for the lottery draw games are on the rise. For the Mega Millions drawing Friday night, the estimated pot is $306 million, and the Powerball pot sits at an estimated $131 million for Saturday night's drawing.
