SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A San Francisco area bartender has won $1 million in the California Lottery after buying a winning ticket with money he found at the airport. The California Lottery says Hubert Tang hadn't bought a lottery ticket in 10 years.

Tang says he might begin leaving $20 bills on the street in random places to spread his good fortune.
