 Here
is a surprising and heartbreaking story! NBC
Chicago, a U.S. television broadcaster, unveiled an unbelievable story about
a 44-year-old man from Geneva, Illinois who won $4.85 million (about
W5.4 billion) in the lottery. That sounds like
good news. What is the heartbreaking part?
Not long ago, the man, named Ricardo Cerezo, lost his loving daughter.
Her name was Savannah and she had suffered from severe bipolar disorder중증
양극성 장애(a kind of depression). Mr. Cerezo quit
his job as a management consultant in
2010 only to take care of her. She was
aware of her family’s poor financial conditions, but
she urged her father to buy lottery
tickets. Mr. Cerezo put them in a cookie jar that Savannah had bought
as a gift to her parents. He didn’t touch the tickets for three months.
 Despite the
devoted care of her family,
Savannah died at age 14. Afterward, the family struggled in poverty and
was finally ordered to leave their house last February. One day, while
packing to move, Mr. Cerezo found that one of the 11 lottery tickets
in the cookie jar was the first prize winner!
“We will pay off our mortgage and
share it with our two children. We will also give some to our church
and favorite charities. It is very important
to us that we use this money to help others,” the father said. We
believe that the daughter is very pleased in heaven. Rest in peace, Savannah! |
