California Mega Millions winner Max Coronado came close to winning a $106 million jackpot back in 2013. He won $1.5 million after missing one number.

But it was enough for the generous South Bakersfield man winner to tip Sue Park, the lottery store ticket seller, for a trip back home to South Korea.

Max Coronado, a senior from Bakersfield, California, has been playing lotto at his local Howards Mini Mart three times a week for years, and he's always been big-hearted about it.

“A long time ago when he had a $100 winning ticket that my daughter sold to him, he gave her a $10 tip,” Sue Park, the mini mart owner who sells Coronado his weekly tickets, told ABC.

Coronado said he would be paying for Park's dream vacation back to her home in Korea... a trip worth $10,000.
