Lucky girl: 2-year-old picks NYC mom's $1M ticket

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City toddler with the right 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.

She told the Daily News (http://nydn.us/x3x4kT ) that she took that as a sign and bought the ticket.

Ahsan will receive $31,152 a year until 2031. She says she wants to start a business, and also plans a vacation.
