Each year, “Teacher Appreciation Week” is observed during the month of May — and for one preschool teacher in Washington state, her “appreciation” came in the form of some good luck from the universe.
A resident of Edmonds, Washington identified only as “J.C.” stopped at a Safeway grocery store on May 11 to get coffee with her mother before a day of running errands, Washington’s Lottery said in a May 31 press release.
Edmonds is north of Seattle.

While at the store, J.C. bought a scratch-off lottery ticket at a vending machine, using $10 she’d won from another scratch-off ticket.
J.C. then put the ticket for the “$200,000 Cash Stacks” scratch-off game in her purse, temporarily forgetting about it.
