Misael Cruz's ticket purchased at an ARCO ampm in Fontana matched five of the six winning numbers from the Jan. 30 Powerball draw, according to the California Lottery.
"I was sitting on my couch, and my son texted me," Cruz said. "He said, ‘Dad, don’t you buy your lottery tickets at that gas station in Fontana?’ I buy them there all the time. He told me somebody won Powerball there. I looked online, and then my heart started beating fast. I turned to my girlfriend, and she didn’t believe I won because I didn’t show any emotion. I was in shock. I didn’t believe it.
I had to check the numbers three times!" "I know exactly why I won. Exactly why," Cruz said. "I help a lot of people, and I never expect anything in return. It’s what I teach my children. I know I was rewarded for helping." As for what he plans on doing with his new money, the answer should not surprise anyone. "I’m going to keep helping people. I will invest some, but this money is not going to change me as a person. I will still shop for the cheapest prices.
