Toddler Picks Lotto Ticket, NYC Mom Wins $1M

Lesson? Listen to your 2-year-old

(AP) – A New York City toddler with the Midas touch has made her family $1 million richer. Afsheen Ahsan, of Queens, credits her 2-year-old daughter, Anaya Hussain, for picking her New York Poker instant scratch-off ticket. Ahsan says the toddler reached out and touched the ticket on Jan. 30 while they were at the Top Convenience store in Brooklyn. Ahsan apparently took that as a sign and bought the ticket. Good thing: She'll receive $31,152 a year until 2031. What will she do with her windfall? Start a business, and take a vacation—a family one, we assume.

If your 2-year-old points, buy the lotto ticket.

you know how many times a child points at a ticket across america in one day, with all those pretty colors its got to be at least in the hundreds, this is just stupid luck, and also how do we know its even true, ive been waiting to win it big too just to make up some unreal story and watch people go "no way"

I assume 2-year-old Anaya Hussain's college fund and wedding reception are all paid for. Good for her and her family.
