Lucia Forseth was waiting for an oil change when her life took a 180-degree turn.
As the formerly homeless woman waited at the Pittsburg Walmart Supercenter, she decided to buy one Lottery scratcher ticket, and to her great surprise, she won the top prize: $5 million.“I closed my eyes and picked that one, and it won!” she told lottery officials. “I first thought I’d won a free ticket, but I checked, and it said I won $5 million!”
California Lottery officials said on Wednesday that Forseth is one of the state’s newest millionaires after buying the lucky Scratchers ticket at the Pittsburg Walmart. Forseth told the officials that she was homeless in 2017 before turning her life around. And now, the lucky win will add even more to her life.
“This year I am getting married, getting my associate degree, and won $5 million,” she said. “You never think you have a chance to win it. It is just random. Being homeless just six years ago, I never thought it would happen to someone like me.”Contra Costa public schools were also the winner as schools receive a portion of ticket sales to supplement education.
