A woman, who made a $1 mistake, earns $14 million
A woman, who made a $1 mistake, is now as happy as she could be after that mistake caused her to earn millions of dollars.
A single mother of four children in California, managed to turn a $1 mistake into $14 million lottery win.
Thuan Le, of Santa Ana, California, went to her local CVS
store last Wednesday, as she does every week, in order to buy $4 dollars in Powerball tickets and a SuperLotto Plus ticket for $1. Instead of her usual $5 spending limit on the machine, she mistakenly put in $6, according to lottery officials in California.
With the extra $1 she bought another SuperLotto Plus ticket that, the next day, made her a millionaire.
“We all thought she was joking,” her son told officials of the California Lottery. “But we thought ‘would she really be joking about something like this?’”
Fortunately for her four children, the mother was not kidding. After the first “scream” when she realized she had the matching numbers, we all went to the District Office of the Santa Ana, California Lottery, to claim their prize.
Le, whose name was released as required by California law, chose not to have her picture or other information released publicly.
She plans to use her winnings to “buy a house, travel and visit her parents in Vietnam,” according to a statement released by lottery officials.
“This woman is very lucky. I wish I could somehow turn a $1 mistake into $14 million. I wish the woman and her entire family good luck with their new found fortune,” Amanda Greene, 42, of Lansing, Michigan told YourJewishNews.com after learning about the woman’s $1 mistake.
The CVS store where she purchased her ticket will receive a $70,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
