A $1 million scratch-off lottery ticket went to a person who not only "deserved it," but "actually needed it," according to the manager of the California store where the ticket was sold. The unnamed winner, a regular customer at Sandy's Deli-Liquor in San Luis Obispo, is homeless, manager Wilson Samaan tells the Los Angeles Times. While the man, seen here, declined to speak to reporters, Samaan "couldn't contain his joy for the customer during an interview," per the Times. "I was so excited—even more than him," Samaan tells the outlet. "He's a good person, he deserves every penny" and can now afford a house. "He scratched it and is like: 'Oh my god, is that real?'" Samaan tells KSBY. "He's like: 'Man, I'm not homeless anymore!'"
