Karma strikes a furloughed park ranger who purchased the winning ticket worth millions.

Do You believe in Karma? I do. As a child growing up my grandparents they always told to treat people the way you want to be treated, show kindness and be respectful, and in this case, Good Karma came back around.

A New York City park ranger from New Jersey who was furloughed during the partial federal government shutdown has claimed a $29.5 million lottery jackpot. Judith Smith had purchased the winning Pick-6 ticket for the December 17 drawing just days before the shutdown closed the Fort Wadsworth recreation area in Staten Island.

The Bayonne resident and her two children put the ticket in a safe place while seeking legal and financial advice before claiming the jackpot.
