A student literally decided to follow her dreams …and it paid off in a big way.
Kaila Moore of Durham, North Carolina told lottery officials that she had a dream she bought a scratch-off ticket, so when she woke up, that’s exactly what she did. It was the first lottery ticket she’d ever bought in her life and she chose well.
Kaila paid $20 for the scratcher and when she started scratching, she found she’d won. And not just some small prize. This East Carolina University student hit the $100-thousand jackpot!
But she plans NOT to splurge on anything to celebrate her win. Her goal is to go to medical school and she plans to use some of her winnings to cover those costs. “Medical school is not cheap,” Moore says. “I’m going to invest some of it in a mutual fund and the rest I’m just going to save.”
Not gonna lie. Cool story. Boring ending though. lol.
