Gonzales Cortes bought her Scratchers ticket from Eastridge Liquor at 1855 Tully Road in San Jose, the lottery says, and the owner of that business is eligible for a bonus prize.

Meanwhile, no jackpot tickets were sold in Wednesday's Powerball and Superlotto Plus drawings. That means the Powerball pot rises to an estimated $163 million and the Superlotto Plus pot increases to an estimated $10 million for Saturday's draws.

The estimated jackpot for Friday's Mega Millions draw is $154 million, the lottery says.
