Usually, when I enter things by accident, it's the men's bathroom or a Parisian protest over France's retirement age (don't ask). In Erryn Rhoden's case, it's a Candy Crush tournament that placed her as one of the best players in the entire US of A and gave her a shot of winning her share of a $250,000 prize pool.
The 48-year-old mother of three told Kotaku that she's been playing Candy Crush for around a decade, after quitting a life of "demolishing" opponents in competitive PvP games. She said she settled on the colourful match-three game as a way to "fill [her] mind and keep [her] focused," adding it "satisfied [her] urge to win without feeling like [she was] doing anything to anybody else and causing rage."
