A 75-year-old woman from Springfield, Virginia, had a stroke of luck when she rediscovered a forgotten Powerball ticket that turned out to be worth $100,000 in the Maryland Lottery.

While she can't recall all the details of purchasing the $3 ticket, she vividly remembers acquiring it during a casual outing with friends at Marlow Winghouse and Sports Grill in Temple Hills when the Powerball jackpot exceeded $1 billion.

The delightful surprise occurred when she stumbled upon the ticket while going through some papers. Overjoyed, she exclaimed, "This is wonderful. I am just blessed." Now, she plans to bank the prize money and consult with her family on how to enjoy their unexpected windfall.
