A Northern California man who says he rarely plays scratch-off lottery games turned his luck from a previous win into a million-dollar payday. Vang Cha told California Lottery officials he usually prefers playing games with bigger jackpots – like the Powerball and Mega Millions prizes that have recently soared to over $1 billion. Out of curiosity, Cha said he browsed the odds online of winning the $30 California 200X Scratchers game and the $10 million prize, according to a lottery news release. He spent $30 on a ticket and took home a $500 prize – but dared to try his luck once more. “I decided to just go all in and buy an entire book of the ten-dollar games,” Cha said.
