In an incident, a woman's strong belief in superstitions resulted in a remarkable $1 million lottery victory.
Elena Penaloza, a resident of West Covina, Los Angeles, held firm to the idea that itchy palms were a sign of impending financial luck.
Surprisingly, her belief turned into reality when she won the massive prize.
According to her daughter, Ariana, Elena subscribed to the superstition that itchy palms signify an impending financial windfall, and she had experienced this sensation just a week before purchasing the winning Scratchers ticket.
Elena started her path to becoming a millionaire by buying a special lottery ticket called Diamond 8's Scratchers from a nearby 7-Eleven store on North Azusa Avenue in West Covina.
She carefully scratched off the squares on the ticket and was overcome with joy when she saw the bold numbers showing $1,000,000.
At first, both Elena and her daughter couldn't trust their eyes and wondered if it was all just a clever prank.
To confirm their incredible fortune, Elena and Ariana went back to the convenience store the following day to have their ticket scanned.
As they saw the confirmation on the scanner, it started to sink in that their lives had changed dramatically.
Ariana couldn't hide her joy and shared that her mom's immediate plan was to use the money to buy a house, something they had always dreamt of but never thought possible.
According to Vedic Astrology, an itchy right palm is considered a lucky and prosperous omen, indicating the imminent arrival of unexpected monetary gains.
It could signify a financial boost, such as a pay raise, a new job opportunity, or even a payment owed to you.
In addition to her newfound wealth, Elena felt comfort in knowing that purchasing Scratchers tickets helps support California's public schools, which are in great need of funding.
As an immigrant who arrived in America to provide her children with a better education, Elena felt immense joy in being able to contribute to the educational paths of other students.
