    It’s not often that, following an unfortunate encounter with a rude person, you end up $10 million richer.

    For one Californian woman, a run-in with “some rude person” who bumped into her and made her buy a lottery ticket that she had “no intention of buying” ended up being a major financial win.

    LaQuedra Edwards was at a grocery store in Los Angeles County last November and was going to buy her usual weekly lottery tickets when the person bumped her and left, almost like a genie giving her a magical push.

    The annoying encounter caused Edwards to push the button for a $30 scratch-off ticket instead of the cheaper ones she was aiming for.

    Fortune will take over at this point:

    She wasn’t happy, but took the ticket—as well as another $10 worth of smaller ones (tickets ranging in price from $1 to $30)—and went to her car. That’s when her mood improved tremendously.

    She scratched the $30 ticket and saw she’d won the game’s top prize of $10 million.

    Naturally, Edwards didn’t really believe it at first:

    …”but I got on the 405 freeway and kept looking down at (the ticket), and I almost crashed my car,” Edwards said, per the press release.

    “I pulled over, looked at it again and again, scanned it with my (California Lottery mobile) app, and I just kept thinking this can’t be right.”

    According to the California Lottery, there are only six $10 million prizes given annually, so the chances of winning are one in three million.

    This jackpot win is the ultimate F-you, that’s for sure:

    “I’m still in shock. All I remember saying once I found out how much I just won was, ‘I’m rich!'” Edwards added, according to the press release.

    Edwards wants to start a non-profit and buy a home with her new fortune.

    Per BusinessInsider, the grocery store that sold the winning ticket also got a nice $500 000 bonus.

    As for the rude person who dished out the bump, perhaps karma will be kind to them.
