She had a one in three million chance of winning the jackpot, and it happened thanks to… a stampede. This is the crazy story experienced by LaQuedra Edwards, a resident of California ( UNITED STATES), last November, reports The Washington Post.
The woman was in front of a scratch ticket vending machine in a business in Tarzana, a district of Los Angeles. She intended to buy a $40 ticket but eventually pressed another button after being pushed around by a “rude” person. A $30 ticket came out of the machine.
A bad $10 million ticket
So LaQuedra Edwards came back to her car and started scratching that ticket she hadn’t chosen. She then discovered that she had won $10 million. Unbelieving, she didn’t take her eyes off the winning ticket as she drove. “I stopped, watched it over and over, scanned it with my app. I kept thinking that couldn’t be true,” she said.
An incredible anecdote that recalls that of another American who had discovered thatshe had won 3 million euros by discovering an email in her spam.
