Lottery tickets worth more than $100,000 sold in East Contra Costa County
Two people are more than $100,000 richer after purchasing Fantasy 5 lottery game tickets at East Contra Costa County gas stations Tuesday, officials said Wednesday.
The two each picked all five game numbers and each won $107,996, officials said. It was not known if they have come forward yet.
The winning numbers were 1, 4, 22, 33 and 39. The total jackpot was $323,898.
The winning tickets were sold at the Chevron gas station at 3400 Hillcrest Ave. in Antioch and the Power Market, a gas station and convenience store at 8750 Brentwood Blvd. in Brentwood.
A third jackpot winner purchased their ticket at a Bakersfield market.
An employee at the Power Market said she was not aware the winning ticket had been sold there and when asked if she knew who bought it said “not a clue.” But nonetheless she was very happy for them. “Of course,” she said.
No one who might comment could be immediately reached at the Chevron station.
The winners have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their money.
Fantasy 5 is played every night of the week. Wednesday’s minimum jackpot was to be at least $70,000.
