(FOX40.COM) — A million-dollar lottery ticket was sold to a man at a Sacramento gas station, one of four players to take home top prizes in California.
Adan Castillos Nares was the lucky winner. He won $1 million by purchasing his ticket at the Chevron at 5869 Antelope Road in Sacramento.

Nares and another winner from El Monte were playing Merry Multiplier Scratchers.
A Los Angeles man won $2 million. He thought he had won $2,000.
“I thought, oh, wow, I won $2,000,” the man, Brian Crandall, told The California Lottery. “Then I squinted and thought that it was $200,000. Then I went to the counter and confirmed with the clerk, who got so excited and said, ‘No, it’s $2 million!’”
Another $2 million winner bought the winning ticket in Ontario, Calif.
