LOTTERY SHOCKER
This Mom was in shock after winning the lottery after paying off her daughter's cancer treatments.
A Florida woman who spent her life savings to
help her daughter beat breast cancer is now a millionaire.
Geraldine Gimblet of Lakeland bought a winning Florida Lottery ticket one day after her daughter completed her final treatment for breast cancer.
The $10 ticket was a $2 million winner for Gimblet, according to the Florida Lottery.
"I just didn’t know. I was like, ‘Are you sure, would you check this on your phone?’ And, I won," Gimblet, 74, told " Good Morning America," adding that she is a longtime lottery player.
"I’ve been scratching for a long time. Every single day, I bring these Scratch-offs in my pockets."
Gimblet said she purchased the last available ticket the store had of her favorite scratch-off game.
Gimblet's daughter, Lawrencina Jackson, said she was equally shocked to learn her mom won the lottery just one day after Jackson rang the bell at a local hospital, signifying the end of her breast cancer treatment.
"It was truly amazing," Jackson said." "It was a
blessing."
