I read this interesting story, about a hardworking waitress who won $5 million dollars in the lottery. I was struck by how well she used the money.
She was a 61 year old single mother of 2 sons. She paid the boys' mortgages off on condition that they keep working. She also gave to a favourite charity. Then she bought this cottage up north for $355,000 in 1996. It was well enjoyed and 25 years later, now 86 she decided it was time to sell. The highest bid for the cottage was $2.55 million! She will share the money with her boys and their families. Her boys are lucky to have such a smart hardworking mom and they know it.

Wow! Amazing story.
Great story!
What a heartwarming story. It is sad that she has no husband to live with.
I love that the buyers said that they would not tear it down and rebuild there. My aunt and uncle had a cozy little beach house that we always summered at and when they wanted to move away, my parents couldn't afford to buy it so they sold it to strangers who promptly leveled it and all the memories that went with it.
aww too bad.
lucky life...
Siempre es bueno saber administrar el dinero te mando un beso
I heard interesting thing about lottery winners. If manage before the winnings they seem to handle the winnings a lot better then those who don't. There lottery winners who are flat broke in 5 years or less.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Makes sense
