SAN DIEGO, CA: A man who purchased a Scratcher ticket in San Diego is $5 million richer, state lottery officials announced Friday.

Joseph Wood bought an Extreme Green $20 ticket earlier this month at Kim's Mart, 7094 Miramar Road, according to California Lottery.

In Extreme Green, players try to match eight winning numbers. Some symbols boost prizes by five, 10 or 20 times.

Wood, who ended up with one of the game's four $5 million tickets, didn't share his plans for the money with lottery officials.
