A woman who won the national sports lottery has given all her prize money to a street beggar an hour after being given the cheque, a website said. Rosemary Obiakor, 46, of Lagos , won more than three million naira in the National Sports Lottery, said a report culled from the website. When asked what she planned to do with the money after she was presented with her cheque in a ceremony on local TV, Mrs Obiakor said she'd give it to a "lucky beggar". "I have heard a lot of stories about how people win the lottery, and they get broke in the short run and come across a lot of misfortune. I am scared, and so I'll give it to a lucky beggar on the street," she told TV reporters. She collected her cheque, cashed the money and gave the money to a female beggar who was sitting by the street side with her two-year old baby. When Mrs Obiakor and a team of lottery executives handed the beggar a bag full of banknotes, she screamed with delight, and hugged them all. She thanked her benefactor profusely and promised to start a food retail business immediately. Before she went away with her money, the new 'millionaire' gave handfuls of money to other beggars on the street. http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=148976 |

tpia.:This foolish woman can never commend a selfless act of love. This comment shows how frustrated you are. What is your business on how she decides to spend her fortune and who told you that people in Niger Delta are poorer than those in Lagos?. May be people are not suffering in lagos since Niger Delta is Nigeria's new Tsunami. You are a despicable and very hideous old woman. Get a life. |
