Jose as the winning Lottery Ticket for the Mega Millions jackpot was sold right here in East San Jose. Im kiet do. We have a live report coming up. Thanks, kiet. Kpix 5 reporter anne makovec with breaking news this morning. San Francisco Police are looking for two men right now after they ripped out an atm machine and made off with it. Anne, whats the latest. Reporter yeah, these guys are still on the loose, brian. Check out this scene here behind me. Its a real mess. This is on fillmore and jackson in San Francisco. The mayflower market. There was an atm on that post. It was bolted in. Two thieves got away with it after pulling it off of the post with the help of the van they were driving. This happened at about 3 30 a. M. A neighbor watched it all go down. Backed up, drove off the curve, did a uturn and came around and front ended the machine a couple of times. Knocked it over on its side. And the van pulled up then on the curb and they threw it in the back and drove off. Reporter that van took off through city streets beating it across the bay bridge at one point. Police tried to stop the van. A chase ensued. Finally, you can see where it ended up at 17th and missouri. They abandoned the van and ran away. The van was stolen from the south bay and police say again these guys are still on the loose. Live in San Francisco, anne makovec, kpix 5. Right now, a lot of people in the south bay are wondering if they have these numbers on their Mega Millions tickets. 8, 14, 17, 20, 39 and the mega number 7. Kpix 5s kiet do is in san jose where a Winning Ticket was sold for one of the biggest lottery jackpots ever. Good morning, kiet. Reporter good morning, brian. You know, when i heard that the Winning Ticket was sold in san jose, i asked my wife, please, did you buy it in East San Jose . She said no so thats why im here at work this morning. [ laughter ] reporter the owner of a jennys gift in East San Jose his name it thuy nguyen. He got the call from lottery officials. He had sold the Winning Ticket. He will get about a Million Dollars. Now, the store is located in lion plaza one of the oldest strip malls of vietnamese businesses in san jose. It happens a loyal group of lottery players and they are all trying to figure out amongst themselves who won part of that huge 648 million jackpot. Now, the other ticket was sold in atlantas buckhead neighborhood at the gateway newsstand in the Alliance Center building. If either winner goes with the cash payout option they will get 170 million each. If they go for the 30 million im sorry, the 30year payout option, its 318 million. One payment, once a year for the next three decades but as you know, almost everybody goes for the lump sum payment. So again, the lottery numbers 8, 14, 17, 20, 39, mega ball 7. The second largest jackpot in u. S. History. Lottery officials lower the odds of winning so you have more numbers to choose from. That means these jackpots grow a lot faster over time so expect these huge mega jackpots to happen more often in the future. So kiet, the guy who owns the shop where the ticket was sold, has he owned that shop for years and years or years or is it a recent acquisition . Reporter yeah, so, he just got it four months ago. We just missed him in the parking lot last night. He had his hands up in the air, he was hooting and hollering, like, you know, like acting like somebody who just won the lottery himself. Although he is a millionaire now, he was on his way out to celebrate and enjoy with friends. He says he is going to be back here at 8 30 a. M. Well see. Thank you, kiet do in san jose. Even if i won 1,000 i would be hooting and hollering. Why not . Right. Pretty cool though, right, liz . It is. You always wonder how someone would react if they won a jackpot even a Million Dollars. Good for him. Lets show you big problems right now up and down the nimitz freeway. Northbound 880 approaching that fifth embarcadero exit. Theres a mile long backup due to the multicar crash thats also involving a big rig. Two lanes are blocked right now and you can see all the delays behind it on our sensors. So definitely you want to use 580 as an alternate until they are able to clear it. An injury crash with this as well so it may take a little while out there to get it out of lanes. Towards the bay bridge toll plaza, its really just those left lanes beginning to stack up. No metering lights yet. Just checked a couple of minutes ago. Well let you know as soon as they turn them on so fast track ones still look okay but in the other lanes its backing up towards the end of the parking lot. Thats your latest kcbs traffic report. Heres lawrence. All right. The sea breeze kicking in is going to change everything outside as looks like the air quality should improve today. A whole lot by tomorrow. Hidef Doppler Radar has been tracking a change in the weather, too. Couple of raindrops in the Sierra Nevada.

Just as you come into downtown oakland, the accident involving a big rig and because an injury crash they have a number of Emergency Response crews, fire trucks. Thats whats blocking the last lane.

Looks like throughout the day today, we are going to see the clouds begin to part. A lot of sunshine by the afternoon and some breezy conditions kicking in especially along the coastline. Some cooler temperatures and then some strong gusty winds developing tonight and into tomorrow. So High Pressure kind of scooting out of the way. Got this low off the coastline thats just beginning to develop. Thats going to be moving in.
