MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. —

There was jumping and joyous crying at a Mountain View convenience store when a Bay Area woman realized she was holding a winning lottery ticket, state lottery officials said Monday.

Martha Lopez won $322,019 after she matched five of the six MEGA Millions numbers on her ticket purchased at the Sav Mor Food Store at 689 Calderon Ave. in Mountain View.

Lotto officials said Lopez frequently buys tickets from the store and celebrated with the clerk when she won.

They said that when Lopez later came into the California Lottery office to claim her winnings, she had a bruise on her arm where she said she had pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

The ticket matched Nos. 46, 39, 20, 6, and 41. She was missing the Mega No. 42.

Draw times for the MEGA Millions game are on Tuesdays and Fridays at 8 p.m. Tickets are $1.
