A once homeless California woman went to a Walmart Supercenter for an oil change. With the scratch of a lottery ticket worth millions, her luck – and life – changed, too.
Lucia Forseth won $5 million in a Scratchers game after buying a ticket at the store in Pittsburg, about 40 miles east of San Francisco, the California Lottery announced Wednesday. Forseth said she closed her eyes and picked a ticket. She opened them to find she’d become an instant millionaire. “You never think you have a chance to win it,” Forseth said in a press release from the California Lottery. “It is just random.
Her 2023 Scratchers win makes her the third winner of the ticket in California this year. There are two $5 million tickets still out there. The odds of winning the game are 1 in 3,088,854, according to the California Lottery. It’s a Cinderella story for Forseth, who in 2017 had no place to live. “Being homeless just six years ago, I never thought it would happen to someone like me,” she said. Forseth said she plans to get married this year and earn her associate degree.
