Stockton-Area Lotto Player Wins $11.4 Million

Someone in Stockton picked all six “Lotto 6/49” numbers to win the weekend’s $11.4-million jackpot and five players will split the $1.3-million second-place pool, a California Lottery spokesman said Sunday.

The jackpot ticket was purchased at a Stockton liquor store, but the identity of the big winner will not be known until the ticket is turned over to lottery officials. The winnings will be paid out over 20 years.

The numbers picked Saturday night were: 3, 46, 48, 31, 26, 5 and the bonus number, 18.

The five players who picked five of the six regular numbers and the bonus number will each win $257,525, said spokesman John Schade.

Seventy-three tickets had just five numbers and each is worth $9,087.

There were 6,965 tickets with four numbers and each is worth $86. Winners with just three numbers totaled 168,993 and they win $5.

Lottery officials projected that next week’s jackpot will be more than $4 million.
