A lucky teen from California has won $1 million on the first day he was legally allowed to play the lottery.
"My mom was driving me to go fishing, and on the way, I scratched it. We had to pull over. It was a million dollars, and I didn’t even have an ID yet,” Heng added. “We turned around and went home because I had to get an ID before I could even claim the ticket."
"I’m pretty stoked! I certainly wasn’t expecting it."
The teen said he plans to use the money to pay for college and to help his family. He said he also wants to donate some of the money to charity.
"I'm so grateful for this opportunity," he said. "I'm going to make sure to use it wisely."
The teen's win is a reminder that anyone can win the lottery, no matter how old they are. It's also a reminder that it's important to use your winnings wisely. If you're lucky enough to win the lottery, make sure to plan for the future and to help others.
