Samaan said he’s gotten to know the winner well over the last few years, even trusting him to watch the store when he has to restock items or deal with an issue. Samaan had offered the man a job at one point, but he said a bad knee left him unable to do necessary manual labor, like refilling shelves or coolers. “He’s a good, trustful person,” Samaan said. The man found out about the scratcher win while in the store sometime last week, Samaan said. “He’s like, ‘Wilson, come over here, is that true, is that real?’” Samaan recalled. “I scanned it and I’m like, ‘Bro, you hit the jackpot!’’” Initially, the man thought he won $100,000, but Samaan let him know it was even more than that. “He said he’s not going to waste the second chance he got gifted, so he’s gonna buy a car and a small house. Then the rest of the money, he’s going to invest or find a business,” Samaan said. The store manager said he ended up driving his friend to the closest California Lottery office, in Fresno, to ensure the ticket made it there. The man initially was going to mail it in, he said. A text from a co-worker teasing Michael Chavez about winning the lottery led him to check his ticket a spokesperson for the California Lottery said the organization hasn’t yet confirmed the identity or validity of the winner noting that the verification process can take weeks she confirmed that a $1-million Triple Red 777 game was sold at Sandy’s Liquor in San Luis Obispo this month “We never announce winners until the claims and vetting process is over,” Becker said The Triple Red 777 game has a top prize of $1 million; the chance of winning that comes out to be 1 in 2.047 million. But overall odds of winning cash prizes in the game are 1 in 2.92, according to the California Lottery. There are still five of the game’s 13 top prizes unclaimed.

She says this vetting process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple months and involves an interview with the winner checking to see if the person owes the state any money "We process over 10,000 winning claims a month so that's part of why it takes a little bit of time," Becker said The winner declined an on-camera interview but tells community reporter Karson Wells this is a "life-changing" amount of money and that he intends to make a down payment on a home here on the Central Coast get a car and then invest and save the rest San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP) was filled with wagging tails and smiles on Saturday as it welcomed a group of about 20 puppies training to be Guide Dogs for the Blind the puppies and their raisers practiced queuing up to go through ticketing The puppies were also exposed to the environment on the airplane Organizers say the training exercise helped them learn how to navigate all aspects of a busy airport in preparation to successfully guide travelers who are blind or visually impaired Alaska Airlines hosted the training session which included puppies from several Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) puppy clubs in central and southern California “These interactive guide dog puppy-in-training events offer an incredible opportunity for GDB’s dogs to learn about traveling by plane and for our employees to learn more about the travel needs of people who are blind or visually impaired,” said John Wishmeyer the San Luis Obispo airport manager for Alaska Airlines The puppies who trained at the airport on Saturday are on track to graduate from the GDB program which has reportedly qualified more than 16,000 guide teams since it was founded in 1942 Sophia is your community news reporter covering the North Coast of San Luis Obispo County When notices about a boil water advisory were sent to people in the Five Cities community Wednesday three alert systems were used: Reverse 911 AlertSLO and the Wireless Emergency Alert System (WEAS) I got a text and it said the water was contaminated and we needed to boil our water and that was it,” said Catherine Webb of Arroyo Grande More than 280,000 people live in San Luis Obispo County; 116,000 people are registered through Reverse 911 says only 6,500 people are currently signed up with that notification system “If they don’t have a landline and are not signed up for Reverse 911 and/or AlertSLO they would not get an alert,” Jalbert said He says his office initially sent alerts through those two systems we started receiving multiple calls from people about not getting the information We made a decision to go ahead and utilize our Wireless Emergency Alert System which dramatically enhanced the notification in the area,” Jalbert said That alert sends a notification to your cell phone “It’s an automatic system that your phone gets and receives those types of alerts based on if you’re in the location that we issue those warnings for,” Jalbert said our phones went off with an Amber-like alert and let us know that there was a problem with the water,” said Virgil Reimer of Bakersfield and you never know what you are getting into Jalbert says it’s still possible some people were missed and that’s why we use a multitude of systems when we’re sending out alerts,” Jalbert said He stresses the importance of being signed up for all types of emergency alerts For more information on how you can sign up for emergency alerts in San Luis Obispo County, click here.

We had Republicans and Democrats both supporting a bill at a time when we've had historic division. We are seeing bipartisan support because it's an important issue for all of California's children and families," Addis said.
