One of California’s newest millionaires was homeless just six years ago. Lucia Forseth recently bought a California 2023 Scratchers ticket at a Walmart in Pittsburg while getting an oil change when she scratched the top prize, lottery officials announced Wednesday.

“I only bought one ticket,” Forseth told the California Lottery. “I closed my eyes and picked that one, and it won! I first thought I’d won a free ticket, but I checked, and it said I won $5 million!”

Mega Millions drawing tips offered by lottery expert Back in 2017, Forseth said she was homeless. This year she said she plans to get married and her associate degree. She also said she plans to buy a house and then invest the rest of her winnings.

“You never think you have a chance to win it. It is just random. Being homeless just six years ago, I never thought it would happen to someone like me,” Forseth said.

Not me.

I just hope that the scammers out there don’t get a hold of my long lost, beloved Aunt...er, whatshername.

Just as long as she doesn’t invest in anything inside California.

Well, shame on them then. I applaud anyone who can come back from being homeless. Just like I applaud people who come back from addictions.

Truth is, we may all be heading for homelessness with this administration, and it may not take a couple of years.

I liked Rush, and he matured a lot in the way that he expressed his philosophy as the years went by.

But I still don’t see the sense in disrespecting an entire community. (A lot of people who lived there were probably intelligent and Conservative thinkers, and many probably still are.)
