Mimi’s Donuts, located at 10303 Lakewood Boulevard, sold an Instant Prize Crossword Scratcher that delivered a top prize to player Sonia Santiago.

The $20 Instant Prize Crossword game has been a California Lottery favorite since its release in 2019, offering a maximum prize of $2 million. Santiago was one of three players statewide to recently claim the top prize.
