A Pennsylvania woman who had recently completed her breast cancer treatment says she couldn’t believe her eyes after scratching off a winning $5 million ticket, according to lottery officials.
Donna Osborne, 75, told Pennsylvania Lottery officials that she was at an airport with her daughter to visit family in Florida when their flight got delayed, according to a Pennsylvania Lottery news release.
“If I didn’t leave the airport, I would have never bought that ticket,” said Osborne. She picked the winning ticket, which was part of a Pennsylvania Lottery scratch-off game called MONOPOLY Own It All, at a Speedway gas station in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. “I went back into the store and said, ‘Can you please check this? Is it right or wrong?’” Osborne said. “Well, the clerk said, ‘It’s right!’”“She didn’t believe me,” Osborne said.
Osborne told lottery officials she’d played the lottery for a long time and that the prize came just in time for her birthday.
