It so happened that the woman was in a bar in Springfield. There he accidentally bought a $20 'EZPLAY Jackpot USA' ticket. Actually he did not want this ticket. But then he gave up his intention to change the ticket. He thought that many times people's luck has improved due to such mistakes, so why not try your luck too.

When the woman realized that she had won the lottery, she went to the bar staff to get the ticket checked. But the victory could not be confirmed by the machine there.
