According to ABC News, the winning ticket was purchased at Best Food Co., at 1262 Stockton St., with the winning numbers of 38, 36, 14, 5 and 47. The Mega number is 18.
If you were in the East Bay last night watching the Giants sweep the World Series, you missed the mega street party across the bay. San Franciscans poured into the streets by the thousands in almost every neighborhood, blocking traffic and unleashing their excitement in whatever way it felt right.

World Series: Everything We Ever Wanted -- and More
Sergio Romo's fastball popped into Buster Posey's mitt for strike three. Sit down, Triple Crown -- and everyone was dancing on top of the tables. A Caltrain engineer leaned hard on his horn and the fans swarming the streets answered in kind. Thousands of orange-clad revelers descended upon Third and King to celebrate the San Francisco Giants' second championship by damaging municipal property and spraying one another with champagne ill-suited for any other purpose save christening a ship.
A Parking Control officer sped past in his three-wheeled vehicle; the euphoric crowd had, in its enthusiasm, smashed his front windshield. He was, however, grinning ear to ear. "I'm not too worried about this," he said. "This is replaceable."
The relief and joy from watching your team cap off one of the most improbable, surreal, and satisfying playoff runs in the history of the game -- is not replaceable.

Believe it or not, police would like you to have a fun and safe Halloween. Not just because they care about you, but because any trouble you get in means more paperwork for them.
We're guessing that's why San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr was kind enough to dole out these safety tips for kids, and adults who act like kids on Halloween. So consider yourself officially warned by both police and now the press.
Public nudists are planning to strip down once again and head to City Hall -- all in the name of art. That's right, the Castro's legion of nude men are now claiming their naked bodies are no different than any other fine craft on display.
In short, consider this event a quasi art show. And hey, it's free.
Naked people say they will be out there to show city officials that Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal to ban public nudity is "totally un-San Franciscan." They claim the Castro rep is interfering with their artistic abilities, if you will.

And here's how they explain it:
Nobody is celebrating the Giants' double win like the orange-and-black-colored dogs and cats over at the San Francisco SPCA. The team's winning streak makes it all that more likely that these animals will find a loving home.
The shelter tells us they are giving away all animals with orange and black markings as a way to celebrate the Giants while also enticing folks to come down to the shelter and take one of these adorable animals off their hands.
The Giants pride promotion will continue until the last game is played (in other words, when the Giants win).

A 38-year-old man is clinging to life this morning after he was shot multiple times as he walked through downtown San Francisco last night.
Officer Gordon Shyy says the crime happened about 1:30 a.m. on the intersection of Sixth and Stevenson streets; the shooter walked up to the victim and started firing at him.
It's great news the Giants won game two of the World Series -- what's even better news is that Bryan Stow was there to witness it.
The Santa Cruz paramedic and father of two was reportedly the Giants' guest at Game two where the team crushed the Detroit Tigers -- again. Stow, who suffered severe brain trauma after being beaten by Dodgers fans at a baseball game nearly two years ago, was greeted with a personal message on the scoreboard that read: "Welcome to Bryan Stow and his family."

Occupy Oakland kept it rather mellow last night in Oakland as it commemorated the anniversary of its eviction from Frank Ogawa Plaza with a march followed by a slideshow(?).
Although several banks boarded up their windows, preparing for another round of vandalism, protesters didn't smash or trash anything along their route through downtown. In fact, the march was eerily peaceful in comparison to past Occupy Oakland shindigs which devolved into assaults and tear gas.
