LaQuedra Edwards received $10 million within the California lottery after “some impolite individual” bumped her, forcing her to push the fallacious merchandising machine button for a Scratchers ticket she had no intention of shopping for.
However that ticket turned out to be oh so proper.
Edwards was driving on the freeway later when she realized the $30 ticket had reaped the highest prize, she mentioned in a statement posted Wednesday.
“I nearly crashed my automobile,” she joked. “I pulled over, checked out it time and again, scanned it with my app, and I simply stored pondering this may’t be proper.”
Edwards, who plans to purchase a home and begin a nonprofit enterprise, mentioned she is “nonetheless in shock.”
“All I keep in mind saying as soon as I came upon how a lot I simply received was, “I’m wealthy!”
Edward bought her ticket at a Vons Grocery store in Tarzana, which acquired $50,000 for promoting the large winner.
The one that ran into Edwards and “didn’t say a factor” as he walked out the grocery store door would maybe nonetheless be speechless if he found her coincidence.
Bizarre issues do occur within the lottery. One girl just lately found she had received $3 million by trying to find one other message in her spam e mail folder and discovering a notification from the lottery.
