Unexpected money is the best, especially when the intention was hardly to get any. Finding it hard to believe? Well then take a look at this woman’s story who doesn't know how to spend her $229,680 (Rs 1.9 crore) cash prize after winning a lottery. A woman from Maryland’s Annapolis, going by the name of Faithful Grandmother, casually purchased a Maryland Lottery FAST PLAY ticket, with almost no expectations of winning. In fact, the purchase was so casual that buying the ticket was not even her prime task; the woman was instead waiting for her chicken order! Talk about ‘winner winner chicken dinner’ coming to reality.
The woman was reportedly at the Royal Farms at 424 6th Street in Annapolis, where she bought some ‘Maryland-famous chicken’, for which she was waiting. That is when she decided to play a $10 Casino Royale Slots game.

Collecting the win with her daughter at Baltimore’s Maryland Lottery headquarters on Friday, April 26, the woman was in disbelief. “This is real,” the woman was quoted as saying to ‘mdlottery’. After all, it was only ‘thighs’ that she was looking for that day at the farm. “They know what I want. Thighs,” she was further quoted as saying.
Opening up about her mother’s reaction, the daughter explained the rare response to winning the cash prize. “She called me and said- I think I won the progressive jackpot,” the daughter was quoted as saying to ‘mdlottery’. “She was so calm,” she further added. As per her daughter, the reaction by her mother was comparatively toned down, considering her emotional personality.

Of course, the woman was beyond happy; ‘There are no words in the dictionary,” she was quoted as saying. Regardless of her joy, the woman was confused about how to spend the money, yet she sure was grateful for the turn of events. “I haven’t thought about it. I’m still in shock,” she was quoted as saying. “But I’m going to enjoy life. I’m just so happy and grateful,” she further added.
