The woman initially called her husband Buddy a fool when he asked her to buy him two tickets for the Powerball lottery.
57-year-old Glenda Blackwell, of Leicester says she bought a scratch-off to teach her husband a lesson.
The sceptical Blackwell told WLOS:
‘Sometimes I get aggravated with him, so I tell him, ‘You’re just wasting your money.
‘I had to eat my words, but they were worth eating,’ ‘So, I was very happy.’
Her lump sum came to $415,503, or around £339,503, after tax.
