The woman became a millionaire on her birthday: "My legs were like jelly"
A resident of Illinois, USA, who selected her favorite color for a lottery ticket on her birthday, won a million-dollar prize.
This was reported by SSPDaily.
The woman told lottery representatives that on her birthday, she stopped at a gas station to purchase some gasoline, where she noticed a Diamond Crossword 10X ticket priced at $25 in purple, her favorite color.
She decided to buy one of the tickets as a birthday present for herself.
"When I scratched the ticket in the car, I kept seeing wins that kept getting bigger and bigger," the millionaire recalled. "When I reached the end, I realized it was a million-dollar win, and I couldn't believe it. I went back to the gas station to double-check, and it was true. I immediately started crying, and my legs were like noodles. I thought I wouldn't be able to go home!"
She described her prize as a life-changing experience.
"My husband and I work hard to provide for our family, and we want to be able to give our children all the opportunities the world has to offer. This victory will change our lives and theirs. I never thought my life would change in an instant," the woman said.
