Potty Break Millionaire: Rotten Robbie Sells Sweet Lottery Ticket

SAN JOSE, CA — Most people have stopped at a gas station to use the restroom, but how many have come out a millionaire? We know of one — Vincent Anchondo. He bought a scratcher lottery ticket that delivered the top prize of $1 million.

Anchondo bought his $10 Holiday Magic scratcher at the Rotten Robbie gas station on Piedmont Road in San Jose. And his reaction? “I sat there for a long time staring at it because I wasn’t sure if what I was seeing was real,” he said. “I kind of froze.”

Once he thawed out, his logical brain kicked in, “The first thing I did was grab a pen and sign the back.”

Anchondo is dreaming of a sweet future. He hopes to buy a house with some of the winnings.

There are still two $1 million prizes available in the Holiday Magic game from the lottery.

As for lotto games, the multi-state MegaMillions jackpot is currently at $89 million, while the Powerball jackpot has risen to $127 million. California's SuperLotto Plus jackpot is $19 million for the next drawing.
