A California woman who recently overcame homelessness is now a millionaire after winning the $5 million prize in a lottery scratch-off game.

Lucia Forseth had no housing in 2017, but she battled back to overcome the challenges within a few years.

But this month Ms. Forseth can put any doubt behind her, becoming a multimillionaire thanks to a lucky Scratchers ticket.

"I only bought one ticket," Forseth told the California Lottery. "I closed my eyes and picked that one—and it won!"

Forseth went to a Walmart Supercenter in Contra Costa County to get an oil change for her car, and said she scratched the top-prize winning ticket right outside.

"I first thought I'd won a free ticket, but I checked, and it said I won $5 million!"

The fact that she bought a ticket called ‘2023' has deep meaning for Forseth.

"Six years ago, I was homeless. This year, I am getting married, getting my associate degree, and I won $5 million."

"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 says she plans on buying a house and investing the rest of her newfound fortune.
