Congratulations to her! Sounds like it will be a wonderful blessing to her and her family. So thankful she wasn't in the home when the fire started

Thanks goodness, that she had that second chance in the works. If not, she would be in the same condition as the gentleman in Tenn.,whose home burn to the ground while the fire department watch.Because the lack or miss payment of $75.00 fee for the fire department.I do recall them saying they paid taxes there,yet their home burn.Seem like you can't leave somethings to the peoples.Oh! CONGRAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ms Ramirez on the win.

Congratulations, Sandra, on your apx. $55,200 net Kentucky Lottery Office win.

Hopefully, you're now playing the multi-million net lump-sum jackpot lottery on-line games ... just in case you're on a winning streak.

The Lord works in mysterious ways. Glad she won some money, but it will never replace the the things lost in the fire, I 'm glad she's okay.

I'm hoping and assuming she had insurance on the house because 80k isn't going to replace much nowadays. It sounds like she did with her talking about getting out of debt and buying a computer for her daughter and such.

The best part of her luck though may have been that the fire didn't start while she was home and sleeping.

I hope her luck continues but without the drama.
