Are you out there imagining what a buck could do? Woodland Hills resident Jim Hagami need wonder no more. That’s because his $1 MEGA Millions wager netted him a $209,244 prize.
Hagami purchased his winning ticket for the July 13 draw at the G&M Oil located at 11501 Sepulveda Blvd. The ticket successfully matched five of six numbers – 14, 7, 11, 15, 34 and missed only the Mega number of 14.
Hagami discovered he was a winner three weeks after the draw had concluded, forgetting to check his numbers.
“I completely forgot about the ticket,” he said. “I went online and checked the numbers. I saw that I missed the MEGA number and I thought that maybe I might win $2 or something. Then I saw I matched the others and knew I was a big winner.”
Hagami says that he will most likely buy a new house with his winnings.
