A 34-year-old mother has said she does not regret letting Gloria MacKenzie cut her in line to buy a ticket that won her the record Powerball jackpot.
When Mackenzie claimed her 590.5 million dollars Powerball jackpot, she released a statement revealing that another woman was kind enough to allow her to cut in line when she purchased the winning ticket.
According to ABC News, Crandell is not upset that her charitable gesture likely cost her enormous fortune, adding that 'things are meant to be for a reason'.
Crandell, of Zephyrhills, Florida, was in line to purchase lottery tickets in Publix on May 18 while tending to one of her two daughters when Mackenzie, 84, stepped in front of her.
The lady at the counter stopped Mackenzie to allow Crandell to reclaim her spot in line. Crandell declined the offer and told Mackenzie to go ahead.
It was a move that could have potentially cost the Crandells the 590.5 million dollars Powerball ticket. Mackenzie purchased one Quick Pick ticket and left the store, the report added.
