A Southern California woman is $10 million richer thanks to an accidental button push at a California Lottery Scratchers vending machine.
California Lottery officials said LaQuedra Edwards was at a Tarzana-area Vons grocery store in November 2021 when she put $40 into a Scratchers machine.
According to Edwards, she did not plan to play that particular game, adding, “He just bumped into me, didn’t say a thing and just walked out the door.” Edwards got into her car and then scratched the ticket. The result was the game’s top prize of $10 million.
