The woman who changed her life thanks to winning the jackpot and the end of her family separation, her son disappeared

Winning the lottery is anyone’s dream. But not everyone after winning the lottery also “one step to become rich”, even some people “change their lives” and then wish to stay poor than like the wish of a woman named Tran Thi Mai (from Long An province). ) this.

Teach your children to be filial and love each other

Mai has 4 children and is poor. She works all year round to earn money, but she cannot be well off. Therefore, she always hopes that her children will be fully educated and grow up to be “here and there” so that their parents can rely on them. “Knowing that we could not escape poverty if we relied on manual labor, my husband and I decided to move our family from Long An to Binh Duong to make a living. Because there are a lot of industrial parks there, there will be opportunities to change lives,” said Mai.

In the land of full work, she and her husband rented a small inn for the children to have a place to rest. After that, she planned to use the money saved to do small business in the market, while her husband applied to work as a security guard for an overseas company.

Thanks to her hard work, Mai and her husband were able to earn enough money to pay for their daily living expenses as well as raise their four children to attend school. “I was born in a poor family, when I got married, I was not rich, so I am aware of the need to teach my hungry children to be clean and to smell good. Moreover, my wife and I are also poor in words, so we always hope that they will study well so that they don’t have to “sell their faces to the earth and their backs to heaven”. Especially, I also regularly teach my children to be filial and filial to their parents, brothers and sisters to unite and love each other”, Ms. Mai once shared.

Thanks to her hard work, Mai and her husband were able to earn enough money to pay for their daily living expenses as well as raise their four children to attend school.

With the special parenting style of a poor mother, Mai’s children become successful when they grow up, then the eldest, third and youngest children, in turn, enter the family. Only the second son is still single, living with his parents. She has repeatedly urged her son to talk about husband and wife, but his son still hesitates, just wants to stay there and take care of his parents. “The second boy is gentle and honest. My wife and I love it the most. We even thought that when we were old we would rely on it,’ the poor mother proudly said.

Poor mother wins jackpot

Not only working hard to raise her children, Mai also has a loving heart. Sometimes she buys some lottery tickets to support the poor. She said she never hoped for luck to come or change her life by winning the jackpot because she knew that in this world, you have to work in order to eat. “That afternoon, I saw the old woman selling lottery tickets passing by and immediately withdrew money to buy one. Then I gave it to my second son and told me if I won, I had to report it immediately.

After that, I was busy with the vegetable stall in the market. At dusk, the old woman with a lottery ticket came to me and excitedly announced that the ticket in the afternoon had won the jackpot of 100 million VND – a huge amount at the time of 2003″, Ms. Mai recalled.

Winning a “super huge” amount, Mai decided to clean up the goods soon and ran home to tell her husband and children so that she could go to receive the reward tomorrow. Her second son was equally happy, so he drove off to see the results. That night, he returned home with a sad and tired face. She immediately asked and received the answer that the lottery ticket saleswoman made a mistake, causing everyone’s mood to go down.

Winning a “super huge” amount, Mai decided to clean up the goods soon and ran home to tell her husband and children so that she could go to receive the reward tomorrow.

“I was sad because I didn’t win the lottery, but the next morning I still got up early to go to the market. As soon as the goods were cleared, the old woman with the lottery ticket appeared with a reproachful voice, why didn’t she even celebrate when she won the lottery? After hearing that, I got even more angry, intending to curse her a bit to stop joking around. At that moment, she opened the number book with the correct number of jackpot winning numbers, the same number that I bought. At this point, I immediately thought that maybe my son looked at it wrong, so I thought it was wrong.

In the afternoon, I asked my son again, he still insisted that he did not win. I found it strange that I asked him where the lottery ticket was so I could check it out, he said it was thrown away. I knew for sure that the problem was in it, not the old woman or the lottery ticket,” said Mai.

The family is broken because… the winnings

Wanting to make things clear, Mai called the other three children home and pressured her second son to clarify everything. But he insisted that he didn’t hit it and threw it away. At this time, the story of her family was also rumored to make him tired, so he took the lottery ticket from his wallet and gave it to his mother and confessed that he intended to appropriate the prize money.

Loving you, Mai encouraged you and let everything go. After that, she calculated that she would divide the money equally among her children to get the working capital. But all three married children suddenly became greedy, making up stories to flatter their parents. As for the second boy, because of shame, he went missing and never contacted his family. Therefore, she deposited the money that the second child was entitled to in the bank so that when she returned, she would give it to her.

Winning the lottery, Mai and her husband are much better off. She doesn’t have to be diligent early in the day to go to the market, her husband doesn’t work as a security guard anymore. But the family’s feelings were broken and separated… Especially when someone asked about her son who left, she could only cover her face and cry. “After years of hard work, I hope you will be happy and become human. But when they grow up, my wife and I have a little money, then the word filial piety is no longer there. Many nights in bed, my wife and I thought of the child who left, but could only say: if only we didn’t win the lottery and stay poor like before, would we still be in harmony and the family would not be separated? May is honest.
