A formerly homeless woman just won $5 million playing the California Lottery in Pittsburg just like the TOGEL HK Lottery..
“I only bought one ticket,” Lucia Forseth said in a statement from the lottery. “I closed my eyes and picked that one, and it won! I first thought I’d won a free ticket, but I checked, and it said I won $5 million!”
Forseth was homeless in 2017 but turned things around even before becoming a millionaire.
She recently picked up a 2023 Scratchers ticket at the Walmart Supercenter in Pittsburg.
Forseth was there to get her car’s oil changed and scratched the prize-winning ticket right outside.
Forseth told lottery officials buying a ticket called 2023 has deep meaning.
“Six years ago, I was homeless,” Forseth said. “This year I am getting married, getting my associate degree, and won $5 million.
“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,” she said.
Forseth said she plans on buying a house and investing the rest of her new fortune. Lottery officials said she declined to speak with media.
About to find out she has relatives she never knew she had . . .
yep, good luck to her.
I think I am her long lost uncle….
Actually, her Uncle Sam will certainly reintroduce himself to her, and she will watch that $5 million suddenly become about $3 million, overnight. Still enough for her to buy a house, and invest to be able to pay the next several years of property tax. Good for her.
God Bless You Lucia Forseth!
So Happy to hear a story like this.
Well said Roz…plain and simple. Wise choices seem to be in her vocabulary right now which is a beautiful thing. Congrats to Lucia. P&L
Congrats, now you can get the heck out of California and start enjoying life!
Nice story, sounds like she got her life together and now will be able to handle the 5 million responsibilities.
I don’t play the lottery a lot, a little here and there, however the scratchers are by favorite, at least there I win once in awhile. Just won $100.00 on a scratcher, top prizes were $500.000, 750.000 and 1 million. EIther one would have been fine with me. This is the 3rd time in about a year I won $100.00 in about a year. Often I win $5 to 20.00, which justify buying more tickets.
Hanne how about I give you the money and you buy my tickets? You get ten percent of the winnings.
Ricardo, Does not sound like a good deal for me, unless you win millions like 20 or so. Besides you would have to trust me a liberal with your money. Hope you realize last sentence was tongue in cheek.
When I buy a couple of tickets it is lucky if one number matches the draw.
Ha, Ha. Are you buying scratchers? The one I just won on is called Win Big, and it is $10.00. I forgot what they others ones were where I won $100.00 on, one I bought on one of those truck stops on I 5 on my way back from LA, somehow when I’m traveling I feel luckier. Then I won $100.00 not long after that. Other than that usually less than $20.00
How much have you spent to win that 100 bucks?
I use to keep track, but not so much anymore. Once in awhile when I’m buying gas I will buy a $5.00 or 10.00 ticket. I think I bought this one because I had won $15.00 awhile back. I bought a $5.00 ticket when I drove back from LA a few weeks ago, no luck, and then this one the other day. I won’t buy another one for awhile. I don’t spend $200.00 to win $100.00 I know that. Whenever I open up a charge account for a customer at work, we earn a little cash, $1 to 5.00, that is my mad money, meaning I can spend anyway I like, since it isn’t enough to buy a nice bottle of wine, I try my luck at the lottery.
Sure hope you’re paying your fair share of taxes on these winnings hanne…gavin newsom won’t be pleased if not
Now that’s what I’m talking about!!! Anything can happen! And never give up!
Wonderful to hear such a great story. Congratulations!
There are business’s that specialize in taking advantage of lottery winners. Choose your own experts, don’t let them choose you.
Enjoy your life; Your time is now your own!
FIRST REPUBLIC BANK…KNOW THE TRUTH!!!
The Truth is…
Upper management suppresses internal audits for large deposits Re. money laundering. The upper management gives large loans to these types of depositors. Upper management then receives big monetary bonuses for selling large loans. Looks wonderful but you have to dive deeper to understand the greed-money-and putting balance of good depositors money at risk.
Upper management V.P./Legal Counsel was making $1,500,000+ PER YEAR.
Where are the Federal FDIC Audits to pick these illegal acts up, and confiscate their management’s assets for paying back the taxpayers who end up funding the wreck of a bank???
We should be irate and demand heads roll…
Congratulations! Wait! Wasn’t that my ticket? 🤣🤣
I remember Lucia. Her dad was King Richard that used to do local access tv commercials for his business T Bones Steakhouse in Bay Point. Congratulations!
So refreshing to hear good things happening, good luck and congrats!
Best of wishes to this lady. I sincerely hope this money will bring her happiness, content, and a stable life.
