“My granddaughter was going out to buy and I tell her to wait a minute, buy a quick pick for me. But going through a book that I have on the table, this ticket jumped out. I seh buy dis one man, ih outdated. She seh but this outdated. I say yes I know, but still buy it and ih gone and ih buy it and ih come back and I put it right in the book. So the Saturday night, because I bought that Friday, on Saturday night I lay on the bed looking on TV when the numbers start play and when they say two, ih click, twenty-six ih click. I seh no. I get up, I get the paper and a pen and I start to compare the numbers then I call to my daughter and I say “I win the Lotto!” I was so excited, but you know, that’s my luck.”
