When it's your day to get rich, it is YOUR day!
When you're out in public and you get accidentally bumped, some people talk it out, others bump back, and others win the lottery!
Yes, LaQuera Edwards from California is probably part of the 0.0000001% in history who have won the lottery by 'mistake'.

We say 'mistake' because in this case, LaQuedra Edwards was bumped by a stranger when she went to the supermarket to get a lottery ticket. The option she had intended on selecting was a lot cheaper than the $30 200X Scratchers ticket she bought with her $40 (R587.09).
You can imagine how annoying it must feel to go off budget on something like a lottery ticket.
According to NPR Edwards shared:
"He just bumped into me, didn't say a thing and just walked out the door- LaQuera Edwards

When she got to her car and scratched the lottery ticket, she found out she was a millionaire!
A whopping $10-million, which is almost R150-million!
Edwards told NPR she is going to use her winnings to buy a house and start a non-profit organisation.
We all hope and pray for at least one lucky day like this one!
