Persistence paid off for a man who bought a Mega Million lottery ticket every week at a Mission Viejo store when he won $245,064 in the multi-state game, state lottery officials said today.
Eric Johnson bought his winning ticket at Fast Check Market at 22902 Los Alisos Blvd., matching five of six winning numbers in the Feb. 5 drawing, according to the state lottery.
Another ticket sold at a 7-Eleven store at 818 W. 17th St. in Santa Ana is also worth about $245,000, but the winner has not come forward.
One ticket sold in Michigan matched all six numbers and is worth about $14 million.
