**BREAKING: Maryland Woman’s Astrological Gamble Pays Off in a BIG Way!**
In a shocking turn of events, 32-year-old Baltimore resident, Karen Jenkins, has won a whopping $50,000 lottery prize – and she’s crediting her trusty horoscope for the good fortune.
According to sources close to the star-struck winner, Karen had been following her horoscope religiously for years, and it was her Cancer horoscope numbers that led her to pick the winning combination: 3, 11, 24, 27, 32, and 39.
“I just had a feeling about those numbers,” a beaming Karen told reporters. “I mean, who needs a financial advisor when you’ve got the stars guiding you, am I right?”
As it turns out, Karen’s horoscope had predicted a “life-changing windfall” for the week, and she took it as a sign to shell out a few bucks for a lottery ticket. And, boy, is she glad she did!
The winning ticket, purchased at a local convenience store, matched all six numbers drawn in the lottery drawing, securing Karen’s spot as the big winner.
“I was screaming, crying, and doing the cha cha slide all at the same time,” Karen exclaimed. “My cat, Mr. Whiskers, even looked at me like I was crazy, but I didn’t care – I was too busy planning my $50,000 shopping spree!”
When asked what she plans to do with her newfound wealth, Karen said, “Well, first things first, I’ll be buying a giant diamond-encrusted horoscope necklace. And then, I’ll be investing in a timeshare on the moon. You know, just in case the apocalypse happens and I need a place to crash.”
As for her advice to fellow lottery players, Karen quipped, “Don’t trust your gut – trust the stars! And always, always, always buy a lottery ticket on Tuesdays during leap years. It’s a foolproof plan, I swear!”
**UPDATE:** The Maryland Lottery Commission has announced that they will be offering a special “Astrology-themed Lottery Ticket” in honor of Karen’s win. Stay tuned for more details on this celestial development!
