Once homeless, Lucia Forseth woke up Wednesday morning among the Bay Area's newest multimillionaires thanks to a lucky Scratchers ticket.
Forseth picked up her ticket at the Walmart Supercenter in Pittsburg. She was there for an oil change on her car, and had no idea how her life would change within a mere matter of minutes.
"I only bought one ticket," Forseth told the California 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!""Six years ago, I was homeless," she 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.
