One very fortunate casino visitor, Bradley Bullock from California’s East County, struck gold with a $2,000 win while playing a slot machine at a nearby casino. His lucky streak continued for the next two days, as reported in recent news.
The next day, on July 4, while getting an energy drink at a 7-Eleven in Santee, Calif., he also bought two California lottery scratch-off tickets.
After returning home, he almost forgot about the tickets. Later that day, he checked the tickets using a lottery app. Scanning one of them — a Royal Riches game — he realized he had won the top prize of $10M.
“I knew I’d won before I even scratched it because I scanned the barcode with the lottery app,” Bullock later confirmed to California lottery officials.
Initially in disbelief, he recounted, “I scratched to see if it was real.”
Reflecting on the moment, Bullock told San Diego TV station KNSD, “It was more of a shock. It probably took seven or eight hours that day to come down from the excitement of it.”
He opted for the lump-sum cash payout of $5.8M.
His remarkable luck didn’t end there.
The very next night, a buddy of mine was staying at the casino for a ‘staycation,’ and we ended up winning $29,000 together,” he recalled.
Describing it as “three days of extraordinary luck,” Bullock expressed in the lottery statement.
As of now, he continues his work as a lineman in East County.
“I’m still working,” Bullock informed KNSD. “I have been doing that for nearly seven years now. Someone who’s never had that much money, I don’t know how far it will go, so I’m still working for now.”
