An Oregon woman who rescued a toddler from being struck by an oncoming car said the "karma" from the incident helped her win a $1 million lottery jackpot.
Ann Charkowicz of Coos Bay told Oregon Lottery officials she and her husband of 36 years, Brian, spotted a toddler wandering into a busy street recently and grabbed the child out of traffic and escorted them home.
Charkowicz said she was left with a "good feeling" after the rescue that led her to buy an Oregon Lottery Raffle ticket from the Safeway store where she works in Coos Bay.
"I figured I did something good, something good might happen to me," she recalled thinking.
The ticket turned out to be a $1 million winner.
"The first thing I said to Brian was, 'How much do we need for me to retire?'" she said. "I had a feeling I was going to win, and it came true. It was karma."
Charkowicz and her husband said they are going to keep the money in savings until the economy stabilizes.

Half a million has to go straight towards the face...wow.
Better to be lucky than good, I always say. But what we do day-to-day, sure creates more opportunity for “luck” to occur.

Good for her!
I’m sure you’re a model like everyone you know. She has a nice face.
Everything is 50/50. It’s either gonna happen or it ain’t.
“...spotted a toddler wandering into a busy street recently and grabbed the child out of traffic and escorted them home.”
Them? Were they conjoined twins?
No bro she’s ugly.
Also I don’t want to know what part of the country you’re from if that’s a nice face :)
In NYC, that ain’t a nice face.
It’s used to scare children :)
Damn you’re bad! LOL!
You, my friend, are brutal!
He’s got a boxer’s face.
The dog AND the fighter. He’d need the whole million and change!
It sounds like she has a good heart so it doesn’t matter. Beauty is only skin deep, superficial and fleeting. Condescending behavior makes even models revolting. What do you see when you look into the mirror?
rescued THE child and escorted THEM home????????
What kind of liberal cr_p is this kind of writing?
I’ve been to NYC, ugly is it’s norm. Find somebody walking around smiling and you know they aren’t from there.
I knew someone else would point this out. What a travesty! To go from singular to plural in the same sentence when speaking of a single individual. It’s utter confusion, like so much that’s been going on in what used to be the civilized world.
Maybe the child’s personal choice of pronoun was “them”?
What face, all I see is a million dollar check......
