She Had No Idea She Was the Winner 

"I had no idea I was the winner," Leslie exclaimed, her excitement palpable. "If it weren't for the billion-dollar Powerball winner making headlines, I would've forgotten. We don't check our tickets," she confessed, emphasizing the sheer serendipity of the moment.

The winning Powerball ticket, drawn on March 15, had been quietly biding its time, patiently awaiting its grand reveal. And when the store clerk scanned it, confirming its million-dollar status, Leslie felt a flutter of excitement akin to the pop of a Tupperware lid.

"I heard him say, 'Oh, I can't cash this because your prize is worth over $1,000,'" Leslie recalled, her heart dancing with anticipation. "That's when I started getting butterflies," she added, her joy overflowing like a container filled to the brim with good fortune.
