Spending $1 more than usual on lotto tickets really paid off for a mother of four sons in Orange County, California who is now $14 million richer. Single mom Thuan Le accidently put $6 dollars in a self-service lotto machine instead of the necessary $5. She figured since she had an extra buck in her favor, to go ahead and buy another SuperLotto Plus ticket. And it was that sixthticket that wound up being the one that made her hit the jackpot. Talk about a fortunate mistake!

Le had bought her SuperLotto Plus Ticket at a CVS store in Mission Viejo, a town in Orange Country, where she normally buys $4 worth of Powerball tickets and $1 on a SuperLotto Plus Ticket. She checked the winning ticket with her friend and after noticing the matching numbers, she ran out of the store screaming with excitement. Who could blame her?
"We thought she was joking," one of her sons told lotto officials, "but we thought would she really joke like this? My older brother said, 'yes, she would.' "
But luckily for Le and her sons, she wasn't joking just exuberant about a lucky win. Her lucky numbers were 5, 33, 25, 46, 32, and the Mega number was 26. She plans on using the money to buy a house, travel, and visit her parents in Vietnam.
This is probably every single mom's dream come true! How amazing is it to accidently win the jackpot just like that? My mother always says when something is for you, it will happen and you don't need to force it. This woman was destined to win the lotto and I honestly couldn't be happier for her. I don't know how her life was before the win, but I could only imagine how much better it's going to be now. It's nice to know that good things do still happen to good people!
