In the United States, a woman bumped into a man passing by and pressed the wrong lottery button, and was lucky to win $10 million.
The Washington Post reported on the 7th local time that a woman named Laquedra Edwards "accidentally" won a $10 million lottery ticket at a lottery store in Los Angeles last November.
In an interview with a California lottery official, Edwards said, "At the time, I put $40 (about 48,900 won) into a lottery vending machine to buy an instant lottery ticket, and at that moment, a rude man pushed me and unintentionally $30 (about 30,000). 6,600 won) I pressed the lottery button,” he said.
Local lottery prices range from $1 to $30 (about $1,220 to $36,600), and Edwards says she originally intended to buy the lottery ticket for less than $30.
"At first, I couldn't believe I had won the lottery," she said, after returning to the car and scratching the lottery ticket.
"She eventually stopped the car and scanned the lottery ticket with the mobile app, and she constantly doubted that [the first prize] couldn't be real," she explains at the time, she explains.
As for how he will use the winnings, he said, "I won the prize and said, 'I'm rich now'.

This is a 'news pick'.
