due to errors of two of my opponents, I ended my streak of finishing last in Ticket to Ride. I literally had finished last every time I played. THEN I WON.

The next game I finished last again.

That said, had the game progressed even a couple more rounds, I could have had 27 additional points due to getting my final destination card. I had thought maybe short destinations ere the way to go to rack up points, but I think actually the big destination cards might be the way to go. I will play this strategy next time and see how it goes.
