This month, a winning ticket was sold at Midway Market & Liquor in Frazier Park, Calif., a town about 70 miles north of Los Angeles. In July, a lucky player bought a ticket worth $1.08 billion at Las Palmitas Mini Market in downtown Los Angeles. In 2016, lucky buyers in Chino Hills, Calif., less than 40 miles from Los Angeles, split $1.6 billion with winners in Tennessee and Florida. Lottery officials have not announced who won the winning billion dollar tickets in July and October. The wins have led people in online forums like Reddit and Quora, or in their Google searches, to ask: Is Southern California lucky?
