the ticket

As the retailer that sold the ticket, the store will receive $5,000, or a 0.5% share of the jackpot.

The store manager said he ended up driving his friend to the closest California Lottery office, in Fresno, to ensure the ticket made it there.

For the first time since 1967, the country will go to the polls without a Bongo or the PDG party on the ticket.

De Los Santos said that when the deputy conducted a traffic stop, Swagrman pulled into a parking lot but “was being uncooperative, initially refusing to identify himself or provide information. And so at that point he was detained in handcuffs, placed in the back of a patrol car and once we were able to identify him, he was issued a traffic ticket. And he signed the ticket, and he was allowed to leave.”

The ticket was issued for an alleged traffic violation during the middle of the night in Essex, more than an hour away from his home.
