“I’m going to be a full-time mom, but I don’t want my customers to think I left because I done this,” she said .“There’s enough people at the bar that need the shifts, too. I just want to do it to be close to family. Just to be there and see them.”

While I hope she does will with it, I think it's criminal that she get 7million out of 21 million... Why should the governemnt get the vast majority? ...and they'll just waste it all and their budget will still be in the red. If you & I operated our checkbook as the government does, we be in prison! Blessings to her.

I think this is AWESOME. God Bless her and her family. It is great to see someone win that really needs the money. I don't know what kind of person she is but I hope that she takes care of her immediate family, her children and their education are set, and pay a little forward.

Good luck Patricia, I suggest you get together with a very good financial planner when you get back home from your trip to Ireland.

Great story! There should be no taxes for winners. They supported the lotto over the years with their losses.

I love to see it when people who NEED the money win it all. This didn't have anything to do with Karma, it is a GIANT blessing because she is in need and wants to stay home and raise her children. Like John G. Hogan said, protect your blessing. You are going to acquire so many "Cousins in need," than you ever thought. LOL First, thank God, second, protect your children, and like RickBarrett said, "Have fun." God bless you and your family.
