Last November, LaQuedra Edwards was buying lottery tickets from a vending machine when "some rude person" bumped into her—making her push the wrong button by mistake and ultimately leading her to buy a pricier 200X Scratchers ticket for $30. Edwards was pretty annoyed by the whole incident, until she scratched the ticket and realized she'd won the $10 million top prize. Edwards says she didn't believe her luck at first and "almost crashed my car" on the way home because she kept staring at the ticket. Now $10 million richer, Edwards plans to use the money to buy a house and start a nonprofit organization.
