Keisha James is lucky for life. The Hyannis woman recently won $25,000 a year for the rest of her life after she picked up a ticket at the last minute and matched five numbers on the Quic Pic Lucky for Life drawing.

James went to the store to buy a Powerball ticket on Nov. 15 but changed her mind when she realized there was no drawing that night, the Massachusetts State Lottery said. She chose the Lucky for Life drawing as a last-minute substitute.

James recently finished a school program and said the guaranteed $25,000 (before taxes) a year for life was a nice graduation gift. She plans to use the first check to go on a vacation.

She bought the ticket at Stop & Shop at 425 Attucks Lane in Hyannis. The store will get a $5,000 bonus for selling the winner.
