A Secret About The Ticket

Some lottery ticket buyers pick numbers that they consider lucky. It is not at all uncommon for these folks to use their wedding date or the birthday of their child in the hopes that this would forever change the course of their lives. When she appeared on the talk show, Marie Holmes revealed something shocking. It turns out that her mother had been the one to pick the numbers! She let Holmes go on thinking that these were random numbers. “I kept dreaming about your brother that we lost. On his birthday, he was the third child. He’d have been 25 that year. Those were the numbers,” her mother revealed. Holmes was in disbelief and asked why this was the first time that she has heard of this. Fontella, her mother, only said, ‘’I wanted her daughter and grandchildren to have a better life.’’
