The woman had moved to Abu Dhabi from the Philippines seven years ago. First she worked as a housekeeper , and later she oversaw school buses. With the money, she supported her husband and three children in the Philippines. She was all the more desperate because she hadn't had any money * for weeks without her job.

Lotto like a Christmas miracle for a British mother who had lost
The lottery win must have felt like a miracle to a British woman who mourned her dead mother. The 55-year-old had to celebrate Christmas for the first time without a mother, as reported by the British online portal Mirror. There wasn't a day that she didn't miss. In order to do something good for herself, the British woman had given herself a few lottery tickets. She put them in a wallet that once belonged to her mother. It was only on the second Christmas day that the woman remembered the lots and redeemed them. She was surprised to find that she had won a million euros in the lottery. The woman was convinced that her mother was behind the Christmas miracle and "sprinkled a little Christmas magic" at a time when she really needed it.
