When she was accidently bumped into, a woman accidentally touched a different button on a lotto vending machine and won $10 million.
LaQuedra Edwards stated she deposited $40 in a California Lottery Scratchers vending machine at a Vons supermarket in Tarzana, Los Angeles, and was ready to choose a game.
However, a “rude individual” shoved against her and forced her to choose a number she didn’t intend to choose, resulting in a $30 200X Scratchers ticket.
According to the California Lottery on Wednesday, April 6, Edwards said, “He just bumped into me, didn’t say anything, and just walked out the door.”
Edwards remembers being angered by the spike and spending 75 percent of the lottery money she had aside on a single ticket. She had intended to play the lower-cost games, as she often does.
She immediately returned to her car and started scratching the $30 ticket, discovering that she had won the top prize of $10 million.
“I didn’t believe it at first,” Edwards explained, “then I went on the 405 Freeway and kept glancing down at (the ticket), and I almost crashed my car.”
“I pulled over, looked at it over and over, scanned it with my (California Lottery mobile) app, and all I could think was, ‘This can’t be right.'”
Edwards intends to use the money to purchase a home and establish a charitable foundation.
She stated, ” “I’m still stunned. I remember only saying, “I’m rich!” when I learned out how much I had won.”
