Visalia resident Jeff Carl and his wife Sandy were vacationing on the California coast, and didn't even know they had won until Monday.

The ticket was purchased at a convenience store in Goshen, where Carl is a regular customer.

Carl said he's been playing the same numbers for years. Each one has some sort of significance for his family.
