There was a young girl in Hamer, Tennessee who, at age seven, was orphaned and had to go to the home of her older sister and be raised by the sister and her no-nonsense farmer husband. She didn't have much growing up. She worked in a grocery store, married, had a child, and then worked in a convenience store owned by Terry Derryberry.
The Tennessee lottery had launched a new scratch-off game, in which the grand prize was $1000 a week for life, with a minimum guarantee of a million dollars. The young woman had asked the owner for the last remaining 8 tickets on the old roll, and bought two with part of her small weekly paycheck. She was driving home and decided to scratch the tickets, and, to her amazement, she WON!!
She ended up buying the convenience store where she worked, and is now the proud owner. This is proof that lottery dreams can come true.
