Three Lucky Bay Area Gamblers Strike Gold with $1 Million Scratchers Jackpots

As yet another Powerball jackpot soared past the billion-dollar threshold last week, three fortunate lottery enthusiasts in the Bay Area struck it rich, each pocketing a cool $1 million in winnings through Scratchers tickets, as revealed by the California Lottery.

These newly-minted millionaires achieved their jackpot dreams through scratch-offs in distinct Bay Area locations, with lady luck shining on San Francisco, Fremont, and Livermore, according to the official lottery announcement.

In the vibrant city of San Francisco, Wendy Ake Bautista achieved the top prize by scratching off an Xtreme Multiplier Scratchers ticket, her lucky purchase made at Los Primos Gift Shop.

Over in the city of Fremont, Ivan Gonzalez Gamboa found himself on cloud nine after securing a million-dollar jackpot while playing a Cloud 9 Scratchers ticket, which he had acquired at SBC Liquors on Grimmer Boulevard.

Meanwhile, Livermore celebrated its own big winner, Carl Phillips, who struck gold with a Diamond 8's Scratchers ticket, his winning ticket having been purchased at Fast & Easy Mart.

Interestingly, two other million-dollar Scratchers victories were reported in Northern California. One occurred at a local taco truck in the city of Patterson, situated in Stanislaus County, while the other fortunate winner emerged from a liquor store in Stockton, as confirmed by the California Lottery.

Adding to the excitement, all of the businesses that sold these jackpot-winning Scratchers tickets are entitled to receive a generous $5,000 bonus, a gesture of gratitude from the lottery officials.

Simultaneously, anticipation continued to build as the Powerball jackpot for the upcoming Monday's draw swelled to an estimated astronomical figure of $1.04 billion, captivating the imagination of lottery enthusiasts across the nation.
