Immediately, friend Eli Martin weighed in: "Wow......so wish it would've been me."
Alexander David Rossi added: "Congrats to the winner... Hopefully they spend some of the money in their current 'hood before they move to Malibu."
Apparently, the store owner too gets a cut of the prize.
This led FishBowl LA's Richard Horgan to ponder on our Facebook: "If you're the lucky ticket seller, do you stay in Cypress Park or do you also relocate...and re-open as Malibu Convenience Retailers?"
We'll keep an eye on all of this for you.
