A California couple stopped for a meal from a taco truck and the decision led to their winning a $1 million lottery jackpot.
Tim Dynes told California Lottery officials his wife requested tacos when they returned from an overseas trip, so they stopped at a taco truck in Patterson. Advertisement
Dynes said he often buys scratch-off lottery tickets from the gas station across from the truck, so he followed his usual tradition and got a Diamond 8’s Scratcher ticket.
The player scratched off his ticket while waiting for his food and revealed a $1 million prize.
“Nobody knew I won — not even my wife, until I told her on the drive home,” Dynes recalled.
Dynes said he has won prizes worth more than $100 before, but nothing he would consider to be a major prize.
