“Woman thanks lightning for winning the lottery”
A Missouri woman who sought shelter from a storm at a convenience store ended up buying a lottery ticket and winning $50,000, or 1.7 million baht.
The St. Clair woman said she was driving when nearby lightning led her to make an unplanned stop at the shop.
“There were two lightning bolts that both hit at the same time right next to me,” she recalled. “I told my husband, ‘I don’t want to drive into that storm.'”
While waiting for the storm to pass, the woman bought a ticket for the July 1 Powerball draw.
The player discovered the next morning that she was a $50,000 winner.
“I almost didn’t stop during that storm,” the winner said.
The winner said she plans to spend her prize money on her grandchildren.
