Take a look at what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com.

A Virginia lady gained an eye-popping sum after unintentionally buying the unsuitable lottery ticket at a fuel station.

Carrollton resident Kelly Lindsay purchased the successful ticket at a Race Method station in her city in January. She was initially sad about “being given the wrong ticket,” she advised officers, having needed to play a special lottery sport.

However that Cash Blitz ticket ended up containing the right numbers for the sport’s second-place prize of $2 million. Lindsay scratched the ticket within the car parking zone and shortly realized of her luck.

“And I got over not being happy about it!” she joked.

Although she gained the $2 million prize, she opted to take house a smaller quantity unexpectedly.

“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,” the Virginia Lottery defined. She selected the money choice.”

According to the Virginia Lottery, one more top prize is still unclaimed. The chances of winning the top prize are less than one in a million.

“The probabilities of successful the highest prize are 1 in 1,142,400,” the lottery noted. “The probabilities of successful any prize on this sport are 1 in 3.29.”

The Virginia Lottery added that all profits go to supporting K-12 education in Old Dominion.

“Ms. Lindsay lives in Isle of Wight County, which obtained greater than $3.7 million in Lottery funds for Okay-12 training final fiscal yr,” the statement added. “In Fiscal Yr 2024, the Lottery raised greater than $934 million for Okay-12 training, making up roughly 10 % of Virginia’s complete Okay-12 faculty finances.”

Lindsay’s lottery win is certainly one of many who have occurred accidentally. Final fall, an Illinois lottery participant gained $9.2 million after taking part in the unsuitable sport.
