What a great story about a family and a lottery ticket.

The Cerezo family from Chicago was doing some spring cleaning when they came across some old lottery tickets.

One of their tickets had numbers picked out by their daughter, who unfortunately passed away recently at the age of 14.

The father took the tickets to a store before his wife threw them out. One ticket said "see retailer". Not knowing how much he had won, he went to cash it in.

Turns out he won $4.85 million!

I love a happy ending.
