“It’s just quicker that way," she said.
The million-dollar winner said she uses the Check-A-Ticket scanning device, a machine that is located at more than 20,000 California Lottery retail partner locations.
Treichel-Roque said she purchased the Cloud 9 Scratchers at a Raley’s store in Lodi, about 40 miles south of Sacramento.
“It’s funny, and this is also going to sound weird, but I bought that game because I liked the way it looked. I buy the ones that catch my eye, and I don’t scratch them,” Treichel-Rocque said with a big chuck.
The new millionaire said that she couldn’t believe it when she saw the machine, and it showed she was a winner.
“I checked it three times,” she explained. “Twice one day and then I went back to Raley’s the next day and checked it again.”
