A SuperLotto Plus ticket sold at a Canoga Park liquor store was worth $11 million Sunday.
The ticket, which was sold at Alcon Liquor on the 21000 block of Saticoy Street, matched all six winning numbers, according to state lottery officials.
Bob Medof, a California Lottery district representative, said he has been waiting for the winner at the liquor store since it opened at 6 a.m. He said Alcon Liquor stands to receive $55,000, as retailers are paid one half of one percent of a jackpot prize.
Bachitar Singh, a clerk at the liquor store, said the $11 million prize is the biggest since the store's last jackpot winning ticket, worth $3.2 million, was sold in 1987.
"We have a lot of winners, but they're mostly like $8,000, $11,000, $13,000," Singh said.
Three other tickets sold matched five of six numbers, and each is worth $23,012, lottery officials said.
The winning numbers were 6, 13, 18, 26, 39 and mega-number 24.
