Lottery authorities said Sanchez has been playing the lottery for quite a long time and had won $500 some time recently. Be that as it may, the rush of that win was nothing contrasted and the definite minute when he sat at his kitchen table a weekend ago and found a moneybag image on his ticket, they said. That was only the starting. He then scratched the space underneath that image to uncover his prize. 

"When I saw the sum, I couldn't trust it," Sanchez told the lottery authorities. 

Sanchez depicted a surge of feeling after he introduced the triumphant ticket. "I was turning out to be more apprehensive," Sanchez told authorities. "I was seeing my fantasies turning out to be all the more genuine." 

Sanchez purchased his fortunate ticket at La Estrella Market, which is at 2345 Whitson St. in Selma. 

La Estrella proprietor Martha Mendoza said Wednesday that the store has had a $1,000 victor, yet never any payout as substantial as Sanchez's rewards. The retailer will get a reward of $5,000 from the lottery for offering the triumphant ticket. 

Mendoza said she was home on Saturday when a clerk at the store called to educate her concerning Sanchez's triumphant ticket. "I couldn't trust it." 

She went with an apprehensive Sanchez to the lottery office in Fresno on Monday. "He appeared as though he was terrified and I attempt to assist my clients," she said. Mendoza said she was apprehensive, as well. "I thought my heart was going to leave my body, it was beating so hard. I had such a great amount of energy for them"
