Steven Mc Girr is a hard-working grocery store employee. His wife is a hard-working waitress. So naturally when he went into a California Lottery retail location to check his ticket and discovered that he was a big winner, he was more than a little excited.
“It was surreal,” Mc Girr said when he came into the Lottery’s Van Nuys District Office to claim his $295,490 Fantasy 5 jackpot. He added that the retailer also shared in the excitement of the moment and was jumping up and down.
The winning ticket was purchased at Tip Top Liquor & Jr Market, which is located at 2501 West Victory Boulevard #A. The numbers on the winning ticket are 20, 39, 19, 1 and 17.
When asked if he was planning on taking a much-deserved vacation with his winnings, Mc Girr stated that he and his wife were “going to Disneyland.” The he paused and added “of course we’re going in my wife’s new car.” No word whether the couple’s two kids are invited on the trip.
