With her $40 (about R$190), LaQuedra Edwards decided to bet on several games. To do this, she divided the amount she had between herself to increase her chances of winning the lottery. However, when it came time to buy tickets, a man happened to run into LaQuedra.
The player wanted to bet on several scratchoff games, a widespread lottery in the United States. In this type of bet, players purchase a physical ticket with a spot that needs to be scratched with some type of metal, such as a coin, to find out whether the ticket won or not.
Stroke of luck
When the man hit her, she ended up pressing the wrong button and betting all her money on a single ticket. Since LaQuedra had no more money to play the lottery, she decided to go home. When she got home, she decided to scratch off the only game she had bought for the $40.
However, luck showed that the collision was not a coincidence and she received the winning ticket. By purchasing a single ticket worth $40, she ended up winning $10 million (R$47 million) and became the new millionaire in the United States. When she saw the scratch results, she immediately returned to the lottery.
“I didn't really believe it at first, but I got on the 405 Freeway and kept looking at the ticket and almost crashed my car,” he said in an interview. “I'm still in shock. I scanned the ticket using the lottery app and thought it wasn’t right,” he added. However, LaQuedra didn't celebrate being a millionaire until she hit the lottery and was sure to win the game, shouting to everyone, “I'm rich!”
