A man who paid $10 for a lottery ticket hit a $1 million jackpot at a Moreno Valley 7-Eleven.

Logan Meyer recently submitted a claim for a winning Lucky Gems Scratchers ticket that he purchased at the store at 23021 Sunnymead Blvd., a California Lottery news release announced Monday, Oct. 17..

Lottery officials did not release any additional information about Meyer and said he did not want a photo of him released or to be interviewed by the news media.

Mohammad Javaid, the 7-Eleven store manager, said Meyer bought the ticket about a month ago, about 1:30 a.m., and then came in the next day to tell employees he had scratched the winning numbers.

“He just said, ‘I’m the winner,’” said Javaid, who relayed what employees told him.

Meyer is a regular night-time customer who bought lottery tickets, Javaid said.

The store will get a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket and will join the California Lottery’s list of lucky retailers that have sold winning tickets.

“We were excited,” Javaid said.
