We often hear of lottery players who win big based on the quirky system they use to pick their lucky numbers. But the story of one California man who scooped a cool $1 million top prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket has set a new benchmark. His lucky number, astonishingly, was 19, and the extent of its significance in his big win is quite stunning!

The simple system our anonymous winner followed was based on the number 19. Why number 19, you say? Besides the fact that it’s his birthdate, our winner admits that it's always had a positive and lucky vibe to him. And as his latest win indicates, it appears the number 19 has been keeping its charm intact.

He purchased his winning ticket from a local food store in California, a favorite lottery ticket destination for him. To enhance the oddities surrounding his big win, it is striking to note that on the day he bagged the jackpot, it was exactly 19 years to the day he first walked into that store! A delightful little detail adding to the charm of his amazing win.

The store itself was buzzing with excitement, as it would also get a sweet cut of the winning ticket. This is what makes playing the lottery so much fun - it's not just the winners who get to enjoy the rewards; local businesses often benefit too.

Our lucky winner opted for a lump sum payment of $1 million after taxes. When asked about his plans, he mentioned that one thing was for sure, he would continue to play the lottery. After all, who knows when 19 may come up trumps again?!

This surprising tale reminds us all that sometimes, luck can favor us in the most unexpected ways. And it might just come wrapped in our most preferred number. If you have a lucky number, perhaps it’s worth sticking with it for your next game.
