In Virginia, an ordinary trip to the store unexpectedly turned into a family financial strategy.
A woman was at the store with her mother, and her mother suggested she buy a lottery scratch-off ticket. The daughter agreed — and the ticket turned out to be a winner for $500 000.
Now the winner says she wants to thank her mother and buy her a car.
It turns out to be an almost perfect family deal: Mom said "buy a ticket," the daughter obeyed — and a few minutes later the family was half a million dollars richer.
So the phrase "Mom won't give bad advice" this time received a very convincing financial proof.
And Mom, it seems, now has every right to start any argument for the rest of her life with the words: "Well, you see, you should have listened to me."
