Forgotten bread sticks lead Maryland woman to $50,000 lottery prize
Published in Weird News
(UPI) A Maryland woman said forgetting to buy bread sticks while shopping for a spaghetti dinner led her to a $50,000 lottery jackpot.
Laron Belle-Potts, 47, of Charles County, told Maryland Lottery officials she went shopping at the Food Lion in Waldorf to buy the ingredients for a spaghetti dinner requested by a grandchild, and she ended up going back into the store a second time when she realized she had forgotten to buy bread sticks.
During her second trip inside the store Belle-Potts decided to try the Fast Play Lucky Numbers game, which won her a $15 prize. She decided to try the game again and won $10. On her third and final attempt, she scored a $50,000 jackpot.
The winner said she plans to use her winnings to pay off bills and potentially take a vacation with her husband in the spring.
