A quiet evening and an unexpected fall from bed resulted in a life-changing experience for a Bedford woman, who says faith and timing were with her surprise lottery victory.
After a long day at work, the woman lay down for a nap but was startled awake when she fell out of bed. Instead of attempting to go to sleep, she opted to go to the store a day earlier than intended, which she now believes changed the direction of her evening.
When asked about her surprising victory, she reflected on the strange sequence of events, stating, “It was the Lord. Nothing else explains it.”
A Last-Minute Purchase Turns Into a Jackpot
She went to Walmart Supercenter #3250 at 7235 Market Place Dr. in Bainbridge and used her $1 scratch-off winnings to buy a Rolling Cash 5 ticket. The purchase was made at 6:51 p.m., just minutes before the 7:00 p.m. drawing deadline.
Later, at home, she compared the numbers on her ticket to the winning combination of 4-8-11-21-23. To her surprise and dismay, all five numbers matched, securing the $130,000 jackpot.
The woman believes the victory was predetermined, citing the peculiar time of her awakening, the decision to attend the store early, and the fact that the numbers were generated automatically.
After paying 26.75 percent of state and federal taxes, she will earn $95,225. She intends to use the money to pay down debt, buy a new car, and increase her savings.
The timing of the win is significant for her future intentions. She stated that the reward will allow her to work fewer hours and focus on completing nursing school, reducing financial stress as she pursues her studies.
What started out as a regular day concluded with a moment guided by faith, time, and chance—a reminder of how fast circumstances can change and how little actions may result in unexpected benefits.
