This story is indeed one of a kind. She's so generous to give part of the winning to the patron who gave her the ticket. Of course she owe it to him too. It is wonderful when someone shares blessing to other people.

Probably not, he probably gave it to her before the drawing or not having checked it after the drawing and she was lucky.

The guy must be loaded to give a $17,500 tip. I think it's amazing. I heard Bill Gates does not give big tips. He gives Micro tips

This should be a lesson for guys who only want to act nice. Never give a lottery away if you aren't really nice.

That is a great story it reminds me of the movie It could happen to you with Nicholas Cage and Bridgett Fonda. Congratulations to Aurora and I think it is so sweet she tried to give the ticket back and then gave him a percentage. Good hearts all around.
