nnA great-grandmother in Pennsylvania recently won $5 million playing scratch lottery cards, and the timing couldn’t be better.nnHaving just successfully beat breast cancer days before her birthday, Donna Osborne picked the winning scratch card after having to cancel a flight because of consistent delays.nn“I don’t know what I’d do with myself, I have to keep moving,” Osborne said, according to the release from the state lottery. “I think I’ll invest some of the prize, sure, but then go to Alaska!”nnArriving at the airport with her daughter in time for their flight down to Florida, the plane was continuously delayed—so many times that Osbourne decided to change plans, leaving her daughter to go on alone.nnReturning home, she stopped at a Speedway and picked out the first scratch card in the display box—exactly as she had done dozens of times throughout her life. Osbourne couldn’t believe her eyes as the scratch circles revealed the prize characters.nn“I went back into the store and said, ‘Can you please check this? Is it right or wrong?’” Osborne said. “Well, the clerk said, ‘It’s right!’”nnShe called her daughter, still at the airport, to share the good news, though she hardly believed her mother was telling the truth.nnOTHER LUCKY LOTTERY WINNERS: A Man from Luck Finally Won the LotterynnOsbourne described the win as bittersweet, having recently completed radiation therapy as part of her treatment plan for breast cancer.nnALSO CHECK OUT: Couple Who Won 100,000 in Lottery Plans to Spend Money on Fostering ChildrennnThough retired officially, she still works to provide the Amish with transportation as and when they need it, and sees no reason to stop now despite the $5 million that just leaped into her bank account.nnSHARE This Woman’s Incredible Stroke Of Luck With Your Friends…
