Data map: Americans are checking the lottery.

　　According to reports, Lea Rose Fiega from Massachusetts purchased a $30 Diamond Millions scratch-off lottery ticket at a "Lucky Stop" convenience store near the workplace in March this year.

　　She said: "I was in a hurry during my lunch break, so I hurriedly scratched it and looked at it. It didn't look like I won, so I gave the lottery ticket to them (the clerk) to throw it away."

　　The lottery ticket was then left in the garbage dump behind the convenience store counter for 10 days.

The convenience store owner’s son, Abhi Shah, told the local TV station: “One night, when I checked the lottery ticket in the garbage dump, I found that she hadn’t scratched all the numbers. After I scratched the numbers, I found that I had won $1 million. "

　　As Feige is a frequent customer of convenience stores, the family immediately thought that this lottery ticket was the one she discarded.

Shah later went to Feige's company to inform her of the good news.

　　Feige told about his experience of winning the prize: "He came to my office and said,'My parents want to see you.' I said'I'm working', and he said'No, you have to come over.' So I went. They told me when they arrived in the store. I couldn't believe it at all. With tears in my eyes happily, I ran over to hug them."

　　Feige said that in January of this year, she almost died from contracting the new crown, but she survived. She was like "winning the lottery", so she felt doubly lucky this time.

When referring to the kind-hearted convenience store owner, she said: "I mean, who would do this? They are very good people. I'm so happy."

　　The convenience store also received $10,000 from the State Gaming Commission for selling the winning lottery ticket.

Feige said that she also gave the family a part of the bonus as a thank you, and the remaining money will be saved as a retirement fund.
