Vietnamese American wins $324mi California lottery The co winner of the American US$636 million Mega Millions jackpot is Steve Tran, a Vietnamese American living in northern California, who emerged to claim his prize on January 2. Tran said his family likes to visit San Jose because of the city's large Vietnamese community. While visiting the area on December 13 to eat and shop, he bought 5 Quick Pick tickets from Jennifer's Gift Shop, owned by Thuy Nguyen - also a Vietnamese national, who will receive US$1 million for selling the winning ticket. The first winner was Ira Curry from Georgia who came forward to claim her prize on December 18.
