Ex-Grocery Clerk Wins Calif. Lottery
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A 66-year-old retired grocery clerk has come forward to claim a $141 million lottery prize, the largest single-state jackpot in U.S. history. Alcario Castellano of San Jose brought the winning ticket to the lottery's San Francisco district office Thursday, lottery spokeswoman Norma Minas said. He chose to take the money in a lump sum, which means he will receive $70,794,364, or about $42.3 million after taxes.
