LOS ANGELES — A California Mega Millions winning ticket was purchased in San Jose and matched all six numbers in the lucrative jackpot, lottery officials announced Tuesday night.
Officials with the California Lottery said a person in the Bay Area was confirmed as a winner. It was unclear whether winning tickets were bought in other states in the $636 million jackpot.
“I know we got a winner in California,” lottery spokesman Alex Traverso told CNN news. “Somebody’s going to put a lot of money in their bank account real soon.”
He said the winner should sign his or her ticket and come in and claim the prize.
