A woman said she purchased a California Lottery Scatchers ticket worth $10 million after a stranger accidentally bumped into her, forcing her to inadvertently push the wrong button on a vending machine.
LaQuedra Edwards was at a Vons supermarket in Tarzana, California in November when she put $40 into a California Lottery Scratchers vending machine.According to Edwards, the impact of the stranger bumping into her caused her to push a number on the machine that she did not intend. Out came a $30 200X Scratchers ticket -- which she had no intention of buying.
She recounted being irritated not only because the person bumped into her, but also because she had spent 75% of her lottery money on one ticket instead of being able to purchase her usual selection of lower-priced favorites. Edwards returned to her car and began scratching the $30 ticket. That's when she realized she'd won the game's top prize -- a cool $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, according to the statement."I pulled over, looked at it again and again, scanned it with my app and I just kept thinking, 'This can't be right.
"I'm still in shock," she added."All I remember saying once I found out how much I just won was, 'I'm rich!'"According to the news release, Edwards plans to use her winnings to buy a house and launch a nonprofit organization.
