Sometimes chance and bad luck turn into a fairy tale. Such was the case for LaQuedra Edwards, 41 and originally from California, when the mother-of-one went to a convenience store in Los Angeles County to pick up several lottery tickets for a total of $30.
But then, when choosing the ticket at the machine, a man violently jostles her without apologizing and makes her choose a single scratch ticket at 30 dollars. Enraged by this jostling, she returns to her car with her ticket. This is where she understands that she is holding a ticket to win worth 10 million dollars (nearly 9.2 million euros)!
“All I remember saying when I found out how much I had earned was, ‘I’m rich!’ “, she explains to the Mirror. “I was on the freeway and kept looking down and almost got into a car accident. I stopped, watched it over and over, scanned it with my app, and kept thinking it couldn’t be. »
Once she arrived home, she directly claimed her life-changing sum of money and she slowly began to realize the gravity of her gain. She hasn’t decided how to spend all that money yet, but she does have a few ideas that will make her life easier.
