“We are thrilled to have sold a winning ticket,”

said Alissa Cimino.

“It’s exciting not just for the winner but for our entire community.”

The California Lottery has confirmed the sale of the winning ticket but has not yet released the identity of the winner. According to lottery officials, the retailer will receive a $25,000 bonus for selling the top-prize ticket.

This marks one of the largest lottery wins in El Dorado County’s recent history. The odds of winning a $5 million prize on a Scratchers ticket are approximately 1 in 3 million, making this a rare and notable event.

The California Lottery continues to encourage players to play responsibly and reminds winners to sign the back of their tickets and keep them in a safe place until they can claim their prize.
