Accidental “Bump” Causes Woman To Win $10 Million In Lottery
I’m one of those people that has to have some personal space. If someone’s too close to me at a grocery store or in a line, I get anxious. I may need to get over that! A small accident at a grocery store turned out to be worth millions for one woman.
LaQuedra Edwards was at a Vons in California when she put $40 into a California Lottery Scratchers vending machine. As she was about to choose which games she wanted, she said, “some rude person” bumped into her. “He just bumped into me, didn’t say a thing and just walked out the door,” Edwards recalled, as described in a news release issued by the California Lottery. 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.
According to Huffington Post, Edwards returned to her car and began scratching the $30 ticket. That’s when she realized she’d won the top prize of $10 MILLION dollars! Call it fate, luck or divine intervention, Edwards was obviously meant to be there.
The only thing that’s happened to me when someone was too close to me at a store is a sneeze. UGH! I gotta start playing the lottery!
