When the Mega Millions jackpot was almost 900 million bucks, Miriam Long thought, “Why not give it a shot?” So she strolled into a CVS store in Blacksburg, Virginia, ready to snag a ticket.
At the lotto machine, Miriam decided to let fate do the picking. But here’s the twist: Instead of a Mega Millions ticket, she accidentally punched in for Powerball. Talk about a plot twist! 🎰
Guess what? That “oops” Powerball ticket matched the first five winning numbers in the March 18th drawing, netting her a cool million dollars. 🤑
Miriam’s heart did a little victory dance. She couldn’t believe her luck! She spilled the beans to the Virginia Lottery folks, calling it “the best mistake of my life.” And honestly, who wouldn’t want to win big by accident? 🙌
