Recently, a woman in Yunnan, China, walked into a lottery shop to escape the rain and unexpectedly scratched off a lottery ticket that won her a grand prize of 1 million yuan (about 590,000 ringgit). Once the news broke, it quickly drew widespread attention.
According to Chinese media reports, the lottery shop is located in the Hongta District of Yuxi city.
The owner of the lottery shop recalled that it was raining heavily that day, when this lucky woman hurriedly ran into the shop to take shelter. After staying there for a short while, she proactively asked the owner: "Do you have scratch-off tickets? Might as well play a bit while waiting for the rain to stop."
The owner, seeing her interest, introduced the scratch tickets to her. The woman then decisively bought an entire booklet of scratch-off tickets, planning to kill time during the rain.
Unexpectedly, as she leisurely scratched the sixth ticket, the prize marking for "1,000,000" appeared on the surface! In that instant, the woman was both shocked and delighted, hardly able to believe her eyes. Other customers and the owner in the shop were also drawn in by this sudden burst of excitement and gathered around to check it out. After confirming it was correct, everyone cheered and congratulated the lucky winner.
The shop owner said that in his many years in the lottery business, he had witnessed quite a few winning moments, but it is very rare to see someone enter the shop just to escape the rain and casually win a million-yuan prize. Currently, the lucky woman has gone to the relevant authorities to process the prize claim.
This incident has made many people sigh in admiration, saying that when good luck comes, there's just no stopping it!
