Formerly homeless woman wins $5 million in lottery
In 2017, Lucia Forseth did not have a home. Six years later, being able to afford a home shouldn’t be an issue for her.
The California woman just claimed a $5 million prize on a scratch-off ticket.
She told the lottery she bought one ticket at a Walmart in Pittsburg, California, as she was getting an oil change for her car. She said she thought at first she only won a free ticket. It took her a moment to realize she won the game’s grand prize.
Winning the lottery has been part of a life-changing year for her.
“Six years ago, I was homeless. This year I am getting married, getting my associate degree, and won $5 million,” Forseth said in a lottery press release. “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.”
