Man wins $1 Million California Lottery Scratchers ticket gifted by brother-in-law

John Vang received a life-changing Christmas gift from his brother-in-law, who gifted him a California Lottery Scratchers ticket worth $1 million.

The winning lottery ticket was for the Power 10's game, and Vang was surprised to learn that he had won because he rarely plays Scratchers.

The ticket was purchased at the Sunnyside Liquor & IPA Hub in Fresno, while Vang was in town visiting family during the holidays.

Although he lives out of state, Vang was thrilled to receive such a generous gift from his brother-in-law.

The California Lottery announced Vang's win, which highlights the unexpected nature of Scratchers and other lottery games.

While some people play regularly and never win, others can win big with just one ticket.
