Julie Bass, a Long Beach resident, initially felt unlucky while playing scratch-off tickets, but her luck changed when she scratched a winning ticket worth $1 million. This remarkable win came on her 25th work anniversary, leading to her decision to retire two years early. She expressed her gratitude, crediting her good fortune to God rather than luck. Bass plans to use her winnings to purchase a house near her daughter, reflecting on her feelings of being blessed rather than simply lucky.
"I had scratched my five-dollar ones, and I told her 'I'm not winning!' She says, 'Oh Miss Julie, you have two more back there.'"
"Look at that! Girl, you hit the jackpot!" said her neighbor.
"I feel like I'm an especially blessed person," she said. Bass said she also plans to buy a house near her daughter with the winnings.
"It turned out to be much more" than the initial thought of a free ticket or $1,000.
