A Los Angeles woman has been vested with good luck after a stranger suddenly bumped into her making her purchase a wrong ticket from a California lottery and make her win $10 million.
The Los Angeles lotter who luckily won millions in an instant was identified as LaQuedra Edwards, WYFF4 reported.
Edwards was reportedly at a Vons Supermarket in Los Angeles, California in November when "some rude person" bumped into her while she was choosing what ticket she will buy in the scratch-off vending machine.
"He just bumped into me, didn't say a thing, and just walked out the door," the Los Angeles woman recalled.
When the unknown man bumped into her, Edwards accidentally pushed the wrong number on the machine, prompting a $30 scratch ticket to fall.
Edwards noted that it was not her intention of buying the said scratch ticket.
