Naomi Mauller, a store clerk in New Lexington, Ohio, flubbed the sale of a customer's Mega Millions lottery ticket Tuesday night by forgetting to add an additional Kicker game. Using the same numbers, she printed a new ticket for the customer and bought the botched one herself at a cost of $2.



Mauller's error ended up paying off for her and her customer, after the identical numbers won each of them a $250,000 prize.



Mauller and her co-winner, who has not been identified, celebrated the happy accident at Mauller's workplace, Woolfe's Huff & Puff, on Friday.



That was a mistake I'll never forget, she told the Zanesville Times-Recorder.



Mauller learned she went from lottery ticket seller to winner last week when her boss, Mike Kane, was informed that two tickets sold at his store and bearing the same numbers had won $250,000 each. Mystified, he called Mauller for answers.



My wheels started rolling and I thought, 'Oh my God, I bought the ticket a customer didn't want. I told Mike, and he said to get down to the store and check the numbers, she told the Times-Recorder. When I did, it was a winner.



Mauller said she planned to use her winnings to pay off some debt and buy a decent car to drive to and from work.



Oh, I'll keep working, Mauller said. I also want to help my two sons and daughter.
