A Smart Mom

 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.
