A Pennsylvania woman struck gold twice.
Her first run of good luck was achieved when she finished her breast cancer treatment. She then won a $5 million jackpot through the Pennsylvania Lottery.
Donna Osborne, 75, won the jackpot with a scratch-off ticket she purchased in June, per ABC News.
According to the Pennsylvania Lottery, Osborne bought the ticket at a gas station in Lancaster County, where she lives.
Osborne’s good luck came after a string of bad luck.
Osborne said she bought the ticket on her way home from the airport.
Her flight had been delayed multiple times and she decided not to travel.
Osborne was taking a trip to Florida with her daughter to see family after she finished her radiation treatment for breast cancer.
“[The flight] was delayed so many times, I decided to go home. My daughter stayed and flew to Florida,” Osborne said, per to the Pennsylvania Lottery. “If I didn’t leave the airport, I would have never bought that ticket.”
She didn’t get far before realizing she won — the gas station parking lot.
“I could not believe my eyes!” Osborne said. “I went back into the store and said, ‘Can you please check this? Is it right or wrong?’ Well, the clerk said, ‘It’s right.'”
Osborne’s daughter did not believe her when she said she had won $5 million, Osborne said.
“She didn’t believe me,” Osborne said.
Osborne told lottery officials she plans to continue working.
“I don’t know what I’d do with myself, I have to keep moving,” she said.
She does plan to travel to Alaska as well as invest her winnings
Osborne will take home about $3.6 million after taxes are paid.
