Sometimes you just have to accept that when you think life is handing you lemons, it's actually lemonade in the making...

Lottery-loving people can be described as somewhat superstitious in their ways

They have a routine when it comes to playing the lotto and they believe that sticking to that routine is their lucky charm. 

In this story,, "LaQuedra Edwards from California visited her local grocery store to purchase her usual lottery ticket, when a rude man bumped into her." (MSN)

Turns out that she usually buys a scratch and win lottery ticket for $40 (R586), but because the other customer bumped her, she accidently pushed the wrong button and bought a ticket for $30 (R440). 

No biggie, right? Well, she was quite upset about it all (must be because of the lottery routine luck) but accepted her fate and went off to her car. Then...

"She scratched her $30 (around R440) lottery ticket in her car and discovered that she had won $10 million ( around R145 million)!" (MSN)

Talk about accepting your fate. When she found out that she won, she was shocked, but remembers shouting out, "I'm rich!" 

She plans on buying a house with her winnings and starting a non-profit organisation. Plus, the grocery store won some bonus money for selling her the winning ticket...

So everyone won that day, except the rude customer... but perhaps it was his good deed for the day?
