• A California lottery winner won $2 million on a scratch-off ticket that she thought was worth $2,000.

• This is Ruby Evans's third time winning a scratch-off prize, according to the California Lottery.

• Evans said customers at the donut shop where she bought the ticket tease her about her many wins.

A woman in California thought she won $2,000 from a lottery scratch-off ticket, but the ticket was actually worth $2  million.

Ruby Evans purchased an Instant Prize Crossword Scratchers lottery ticket from Sweet Time Donuts in Compton, California, the California Lottery said in a release on Thursday.

Evans scratched her ticket in the parking lot and realized that she had won an amount of money, the release says.

"Imagine her shock though when the owner scanned Evans' ticket and a different figure with three extra zeros appeared on the Lottery terminal screen," the California Lottery said. "Evans hadn't won $2,000 as she thought; she actually won $2,000,000, the game's top prize."

Another man, Job Aquirre, also won $2 million on an Instant Prize ticket that he bought at a business in Studio City, the release says.

Both Sweet Time Donuts and the business where Aquirre purchased his ticket will receive $10,000 for selling the winning tickets.

This is Evans's third time to win the lottery, according to officials. In 2013, Evans told lottery officials she won $100,000 playing a different scratch-off game. Evans also won another $5,000

Evans told officials that the other customers at the donut shop now tease her about her multitude of wins.

"They say 'Ruby, haven't you won enough? Save some winners for all of us,'" Evans said, according to the release.
