$62 million SuperLotto Plus ticket sold in Van Nuys

The only winning ticket from Saturday night’s SuperLotto Plus jackpot to match all five numbers and the mega number was purchased in Van Nuys.

Lottery officials announced the $62 million ticket was bought at Tori Liquor, located at 7300 Sepulveda Boulevard.


The winner has 60 days to come forward and choose between receiving the $62 million total in 30 annual installments or taking a smaller lump-sum payment.

The winning numbers from the July 10 drawing were 9, 11, 15, 27, 30, and the Mega Ball was 25.

The odds of matching all five numbers and the Mega number is 1 in 41,416,353, according to the California Lottery website.

Two other tickets — one sold in Atwater, the other in San Ysidro — matched five numbers and are worth almost $25,000 apiece.

For selling the winning ticket, Tori Liquor will receive a bonus of $310,000, state lottery officials said in a news release.

Salem Faour’s, whose family has owned the business for 42 years, isn’t sure what he’ll do with the extra money.

“Maybe I’ll pay off some debt, or maybe I’ll donate it to charity,” Faour said, according to the release.
