Related: About this forumWoman wins $10 million after accidentally pushing the wrong button on lottery machine
When a stranger bumps into you, you might get an apology. LaQuedra Edwards got $10 million.Last November, Edwards had just put $40 into a lottery ticket vending machine at a supermarket in Los Angeles when "some rude person" bumped into her, causing her to accidentally push the wrong number on the machine.
"He just bumped into me, didn't say a thing and just walked out the door," Edwards said.
She usually purchases cheaper tickets, but the accidental button push meant she'd bought a $30 200X Scratchers ticket. Edwards said she was annoyed because she had just dropped most of her money on a single ticket.
But once she was in her car, she started scratching the $30 ticket, and realized she'd won the top prize of $10 million.

Yep. She better give God a kickback. Maybe she can donate it to Joel Osteen. He needs money.

Security cam might show them in the incident for proof...I'd keep my $10 mil on the down low as much as possible...
