Fresno is home to California's newest multi-millionaire.  Jaime Chavez won Wednesday night's $10 million SuperLotto Plus jackpot with a ticket he bought in a local convenience store.

Jaime Chavez wasted no time in turning in his winning ticket at the lottery office in north Fresno.  He's the only one in California to pick all six numbers in Wednesday's SuperLotto Plus drawing worth $10 million.

Chavez won it all with a one dollar quick pick purchased at the Church Market at Church, near Maple, in southeast Fresno.

Store owner, Ammar Saleh will get $50,000 for selling the winning ticket.  He says he'll invest his cut in his store.

Chavez bought a cash value ticket, which means he'll take home just under $4 million after taxes.

Despite becoming a millionaire, he says he has no plans to quit his job as a distributor for Mission Foods, because he says he knows that money can go fast.
