$100,000 WINNING SCRATCHERS® TICKET TO FRESNO STATE STUDENT
September 25, 2008
SACRAMENTO – On Monday afternoon luck brought Joseph Aguilar down to Madera for a visit with friends. Actually, it was luck that brought Aguilar home when he noticed his gas needle was a little too close to empty. “With gas prices being crazy nowadays, I didn’t know how much [money] I would need to fill up my tank.” Aguilar explained, implying he overpaid for the tank and returned to the clerk to get his change. When he learned that $5 remained, a Scratchers ticket caught his eye. He purchased the ticket and casually put it in his pocket, unscratched. Aguilar recalled, “I didn’t even play until I got home.”
Later that day, Aguilar remembered the ticket. What happened next is something he struggled to explain. “Unbelievable,” Aguilar said of the feeling he experienced after uncovering the $100,000 prize. “It was weird how it felt. I double-checked and it took two days to finally settle in.”
Aguilar works part-time and attends Fresno State. He is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in computer engineering and noted that the money would go toward finishing his education.
The $5 Stars & Stripes Scratchers ticket was sold at Madera Valero and Gas at 1488 South Madera Avenue, in Fresno.
