Johnny Allen is a retiree and longtime Lottery player. To be specific, he’s been playing since the California Lottery sold its first ticket in 1985. Imagine his surprise when he recently played the Crossword Deluxe Scratchers and won the $2 million top prize!
Allen stopped at a Los Angeles County donut shop (Brand Donuts, which is located 10254 Rosecrans Avenue in Bellflower) at around 2 p.m. and bought his Lottery tickets. Oddly enough he didn’t bother scratching them; instead he went straight on-line and entered the tickets’ serial numbers directly into the 2nd Chance system. That’s when he saw he was a winner. Allen (pictured below) has a big reunion coming up and plans to arrive in style. He didn’t want us to ruin the surprise regarding his mode of transportation, but he says it will be a night to remember!
