SAN FRANCSICO (KRON) — An Oregon woman is $500,000 richer after buying a lottery ticket in San Francisco.

Camara “Yeimy” Granados says she went all the way home to Gresham, Oregon before realizing that her $5 scratcher was worth half a million dollars.

“My boyfriend bought the ticket while we were in the Bay Area. I ended up taking the ticket all the way home to Gresham, Oregon. I was in shock when I realized I had won $500,000. I still don’t know how to react,” Granados said.

Her winning ticket was purchased at G & H Liquor,  located at 201 Jones St.

She recently drove over ten hours and nearly 700 miles to the California Lottery’s district office in Sacramento to claim her prize.WHAT OTHERS ARE CLICKING ON:
