• An 18-year-old won $1 million on a lottery ticket that was a gift from his grandmother.
• "My mom was driving me to go fishing, and on the way, I scratched it. We had to pull over," Kaleb Heng said.

An 18-year-old California man won $1 million on a scratch-off lottery ticket that his grandmother gave to him as a gift, state lottery officials said.

Kaleb Heng, 18, said his grandmother gave him the "The Perfect Gift" scratch-off ticket that she bought from an Oasis Market in Turlock, California before he headed out for a fishing trip, California lottery officials said in an April 6 statement.

Heng said that his grandmother bought him the ticket as a birthday surprise for his first day that he could legally play the lottery and that he had to get himself an ID before he could claim the prize, officials said in a statement.

"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 told state lotto officials.

Heng said in a statement he plans to use his winnings to save money for college and to put toward improving his furniture.

Another man, John Vang, also won $1 million after buying a winning "Power 10" scratch-off ticket in Fresno, California, the CA Lottery said in the release. Vang's brother-in-law gave him the ticket from the Sunnyside Liquor & IPA Hub in Fresno as a Christmas gift, according to the release.

Vang received the ticket recently while visiting California from out of state, the release said.

"I actually don't ever play Scratchers, that's what's funny about it," Vang said, according to the statement. "I do play Powerball and Mega Millions, but not Scratchers."
