A Modesto man's lucky hunch paid off when he won a $1,000 lottery prize and immediately bought more tickets - winnings $10 million with one of them.

California lottery officials say Rodney Meadows was out running errands November 23 when he decided to pick up some $30 California Lottery 30th anniversary scratcher tickets at a Modesto store.

He won $1,000 on the first ticket he bought.

KCRA-TV reports that Meadows decided to buy three more tickets a minute later and that's when he scratched the ticket that made him a millionaire.

Meadows says he had to ask the store clerk to check his ticket at the machine because he couldn't believe he had won $10 million.

He says he doesn't yet know how he'll spend his winnings.

The manager of the mini-mart, Lakhvir Singh, said the store has sold a few winning tickets before - but never to the tune of $10 million.

The store sold a $25,000 scratcher last month, and a $30,000 ticket last year.

'It's amazing - unbelievable' Singh, who sold the tickets to Meadows, told the network.

The Fast Mart will also receive a bonus of $50,000 for selling the lucky ticket.
