Best Mistake Ever - Woman Wins $2 Million After Cashier Hands Her Wrong Ticket
A virginia woman's moment of frustration was turned into an unexpected moment of victory when she won $2 million (about Rs 17 crore) after receiving the incorrect lottery ticket. According to Fox business, Carrollton homeowner Kelly Lindsay had asked a nearby business for a certain scratch-off ticket. However, the clerk gave her a Money Blitz scratch-off instead.
At first, Kelly Lindsay decided to scratch the ticket in the parking lot since she was irritated by the error. The unexpected announcement that she had just won the $2 million top prize followed. Lindsay's rage quickly faded after learning what had transpired.

"And I got over not being happy about it," Kelly Lindsay said in jest as she discussed the joyful event with Fox Business. The mix-up proved to be the luckiest mistake she had ever made.
Kelly Lindsay reportedly chose to receive her rewards as a one-time lump sum payment rather than annuity payments, which resulted in her taking home $1,250,000 after taxes.
According to virginia Lottery officials, "Ms. Lindsay had the choice of taking the full $2 million prize in annual payments over 30 years or a one-time cash option of $1,250,000 before taxes," Fox business said. According to the officials, "she chose the cash option,"

The Metro reported that there was just a 1 in 1,142,400 chance of winning the $2 million prize in the Money Blitz game. Interestingly, there are two top prizes in the game, so there is still one lucky winner to be discovered. In this scratch-off game, the total odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.29.
Kelly Lindsay bought the winning ticket at the Race Way Carrollton petrol station on Carrollton Boulevard.
Kelly Lindsay's triumph not only transforms her life, but it also helps the neighborhood. The county where she lives, Isle of Wight, received almost $3.7 million (£2.9 million) in state lottery cash this year for kindergarten through 12th grade education.
