A lucky woman was stunned to find out she was pregnant and had won the lottery on the same day.

The unnamed woman from Germantown, USA, was delighted to discover she was pregnant with her and her husband’s fifth child.

And later that day, she got another pleasant surprise when she realised she had scooped a whopping USD 50,000 (GBP 41,000) on a scratch card.

She told lottery officials: “Two gifts for me! It was a big surprise.”

She added: “I couldn’t believe it when I saw the numbers.”

The lucky winner said she may spend some of the cash on a family summer holiday later in the year.

In a statement obtained by Newsflash, Maryland Lottery said: “A Montgomery County mother of four and her husband will never forget two startling experiences that occurred on the same day.

“First, she discovered she was pregnant with the couple’s fifth child, and later she won $50,000 on a Six Figures scratch-off.

“Both ‘Lucky Mama,’ as she nicknamed herself to tell her Lottery story, and her husband enjoy playing scratch-offs.

“One of their favorite retailers is Wegmans #56 in Germantown, and on the day she found out another child was on the way, ‘Lucky Mama’ went to the grocery and bagged the lucky $10 Six Figures scratch-off.

“When she played the game and realized she won, ‘Lucky Mama’ took the scratch-off to the store’s customer service desk to find out how to claim such a big prize.

“It is by far her largest Lottery win, compared to her other prizes that range from $5 to $500.

“The couple will put the prize aside for now but may use some of it to go on a family vacation in the summer, she said.”
