A ticket purchased at the Chevron gas station on Erringer Road—worth $10 million in the California SuperLotto Plus Jackpot—may make a fortune cookie prediction come true for a Simi Valley man.

The 50-year-old winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, didn’t check the ticket he purchased July 15 until after the fortune cookie he opened the next day said he would “enjoy a luxurious life,” according to lottery spokesperson Alex Traverso.

The prediction, which he shared with his coworkers, inspired him to check his lottery tickets, Traverso said.

“A fortune cookie predicted that the man would win,” the Lotto spokesperson said.

The winner claimed his prize July 20.

Though he would not disclose the winner’s name, Traverso did say he is a manager at a Ralphs grocery store—and that he planned to keep his job.

“He said, ‘I don’t want to become a lazy slob,’” the spokesperson said.

The winner—whoever he is—might not have won if it weren’t for an error by a cashier at the gas station. According to Traverso, the man wanted to purchase two $10 tickets—one for himself and one for his father— but the cashier gave him one $2 ticket. The cashier offered to void the transaction but the man instead purchased an $8 ticket and a $10 ticket.

“It was this $8 Quick Pick ticket that had the winning numbers,” Traverso said.

The winner chose to receive his cash prize in installments. He’s scheduled to receive $250,000 this week and increasing payments for the next 26 years until his final payment of $510,000. The prize will be taxed 25 percent by the federal government but not by the state of California.

The large cash prize had some residents, and some Simi Valley Ralphs employees, speculating just who the winner may be.

Bryan Bluum, assistant service manager at the Ralphs on Los Angeles Avenue, said he’s excited it’s one of their own who won.

“Whoever it is that won, we’re really happy for them.”

After hearing of the man’s decision to keep his job after the $10million jackpot, Bluum said, “It is definitely a unique decision.”

He said he heard other employees theorizing that the winner actually works at a Ralphs in the San Fernando Valley, but for now the winner remains a secret.

Traverso said it’s not surprising for people to want to remain anonymous and that about half of big winners wish to keep their identity hidden.

“People who win large amounts of money want to avoid the hassle that comes along with newfound fortune,” he said.

The man is now one of 11 jackpot winners from Ventura County since the California Lottery began in 1985. Simi Valley in particular seems to be the place for good fortune this month.

A $154,640 winning ticket was purchased at G&G Mobil at 1099 E. Los Angeles Ave. on July 21. The lucky player has yet to come forward.
