It was all about the fives for a man who recently won $5 million after buying a Scratchers ticket in Irvine.
Alec Bucur’s strategy was simple, if not somewhat unconventional: buy only the fifth ticket on the stack of Millionaire Bucks Scratchers at the Chevron gas station at 5425 Alton Parkway, according to an April 27 press release by the California Lottery.
The idea came to him after asking the clerk how much the last winning ticket was worth. After learning it was worth $500 and that it was ticket No. 5 in the stack, Bucur became a regular at the station, employing his unscientific strategy to buy his Scratchers.
