EMERYVILLE — Someone really filled up at a gas station here Tuesday night as the lucky person bought the top prize Fantasy 5 lotto ticket worth $181,250, officials said.
The person’s identity was not yet known Wednesday morning.
The ticket was sold at the Chevron Station, 1400 Powell St.
The person was the only one in the entire state to choose all five winning numbers, which are 10, 16, 20, 23 and 32.
Station manager Harjinder Gill said it was not an employee who bought the ticket but he does not yet know who did.
He said “it’s very exciting” the ticket was purchased at the station and he believes being the location where it was bought should “definitely” attract more customers.
He said the station has only been selling lottery tickets since 2016 and “this is the biggest amount anyone has ever won.”
The winner has 180 days from Tuesday to claim the money.
People can play Fantasy 5 every night of the week. Wednesday night’s estimated jackpot is at least $73,000.
