SACREDO, Calif. (TND) – A woman from California, who was formerly homeless and is now prosperous and abundant, experienced a dramatic change in her life.

The 2023 Scratchers winning ticket was found by Lucia Forseth, according to lottery officials, while she was waiting at a Walmart for an oil change. “I made the decision to buy only one ticket, closed my eyes, and made a random selection. ”.

I was shocked to learn that it was the winning ticket, said Forseth. “At first, I assumed it was just a free ticket, but when I checked, I saw that I had won an incredible $5 million. ”.

A woman becomes wealthy after winning $5 million on a lottery scratch-off.

Forseth claimed that the profound symbolism of the 2023 ticket was the reason she selected it. This ticket, in her opinion, was especially important to her.

“Six years ago, I was homeless. And this year, I’m getting married, finishing my associate’s degree, and winning $5 million,” Forseth said.

“I never thought about having a chance to win. Suddenly, it occurred. Just a few years ago, when I was living on the streets, I never thought I’d experience something like this. ”.

When questioned about her plans for the future, Forseth said she wants to invest the rest of her money and buy a house.

The lottery officials emphasized that Forseth’s motivational story shows the profound impact that winning games can have on people and educational institutions.
