Only a car ?? It's his mother , not his girlfriend or a best friend of his , right ? Lol . Of course if we're talking about a Porsche or Ferrari I see no problem at all lol Maybe better give her the cash to buy the things she loves most , women love shopping , no money in the world is enough for them when they go shopping lol

any prize is good when you win it. Why there need more cars, for what? you can use one because of necessity and the rest of the money to live a more elegant life. People win different prizes and it is nice to enjoy with them, not to spend money on many cars. The good rationalism is needed there.

haha another story of another winner who finds out late! If he was in my country, he would have already lost that money. Fortunately, the same thing did not happen there. Congratulations to both winners. There is a big difference between 1 million and 70, but if I win 1 million dollars, I'm not complaining haha. I think it's perfect that he helps his mother in some way.

it's very starnge to me , people forget that they have lottery tickets to look about the lucky numbers , I mean , why they buy themif they forget they had boughtthem , I guess they have a lot of money , so they spare a lot here and thereand they forget lol . They dont care so much or they do not expect to win , nevertheless they buy these tickets . people who really have nee of money , if they buy tickets they look at the lucky numbers the same day or the next day , they do not forget , lol My aunt was doing this thing , every lottery ticket , every week , never forgot

The time frame you have to claim your winning lottery ticket varies , some lottery organisers in some countries give you a 3 month period , some others 6 months , I do not I know if others allow more time to players to claim their winnings . . I think there shouldn't be sch a time limit , winners should have as much time as they need to claim winnings , even years after the moment they were declared winners , as long as the lottery ticket provider operates , there shouldn't be any objection to pay them any time they claim their winnings . I see these restrictions also to sportsbetting , scratch tickets and elsewhere .......

always in life the first thing is your parents and this person knows it very well, a great gesture from the son to give something to his mother, but we must always show our love and affection to a mother with gifts no matter the price.

Parents always come first in life and this human knows it well, a good gesture on his part, but we must always show appreciation with details regardless of the cost.

for most of us, parents are what should be normal but there are also some people or crazy people who do not respect them. Some of them are right, others are not, but in this case is a nice gesture, beautiful and deserves our appreciation.

Yes but i am talking for my parents, they deserve all the respect and all for what they give me over the years and all support that they give to me. But i know people too who have parents who just don't care for them and they were happy that they can go live for themselve as soon as possible.

a nice gesture from this person, the best gift you can give to a mother, it is beautiful to see a happy mother, that's why the little we have we should give to our mother, she deserves that and much more.
