A dad in Canada recently came forward after hitting the lottery with a ticket he got for Father’s Day. His daughter bought him a card and put a “Set for Life” ticket inside it. He hit the jackpot of $1,000 a week for life, but took the lump sum of $675,000 Canadian.  In U.S. dollars, that’s just over half-a-million bucks…………..A guy in Virginia just hit the lottery for $250,000 using numbers that came to him in a dream – no lie, they were 13-14-15-16-17 and 18.  But here’s the twist: He would have won a million bucks if he’d gotten the “Bonus Ball” right too. That number was 19, but for some reason, he didn’t dream that…………..And finally………… 

Here’s a story about hitting the jackpot in the art world. A 90-year-old woman in England who has dementia was starting to need constant care.  Unfortunately, her family didn’t know how they’d pay for it, until someone realized a painting above her bed was worth a great deal of money. “The Depiction of the Madonna and Child” is from the 15th century, and it recently sold at auction for $320,000, which the family is using to pay for the woman’s nursing care.
