“I was shocked!” Miguel said, after checking his ticket on the Lotto Spot app.

“He kept screaming my name,” his wife Jen recalled. “I thought it was bad news.” When his wife entered the room, Miguel kept asking, “Is it true? Is it true?” Finally, he showed her the app, revealing some very good news!

“It was such a big blessing for us!” Jen said.

Although Miguel said he doesn’t buy lottery tickets very often, his spontaneous decision to do so was a huge surprise. Thanks to their big win, their two pre-school-aged boys will have an education fund for their future and will enjoy a new backyard fence for their present.
