LaQuedra Edwards was preparing to buy a lottery ticket from a vending machine at an L.A. supermarket when a 'rude person' bumped into her, causing her to push the wrong number. The ticket she received was a $10 million winner.
When a stranger bumps into you, you might get an apology. LaQuedra Edwards got $10 million.
Last November, Edwards had just put $40 into a lottery ticket vending machine at a supermarket in Los Angeles when"some rude person" bumped into her, causing her to accidentally push the wrong number on the machine.She usually purchases cheaper tickets, but the accidental button push meant she'd bought a $30 200X Scratchers ticket. Edwards said she was annoyed because she had just dropped most of her money on a single ticket.
But once she was in her car, she started scratching the $30 ticket, and realized she'd won the top prize of $10 million. "I didn't really believe it at first, but I got on the 405 freeway and kept looking down at , and I almost crashed my car," Edwards said."I pulled over, looked at it again and again, scanned it with my app, and I just kept thinking this can't be right."Copyright 2022 NPR.
