In What May Be its Largest Ever Gift to Charity, Businessman in India Donates $7.5 Billion
After accounting for the bulk of India's major charitable donations last year, the nation's second-richest person, Azim Premji, had given $7.5 billion more.
This Virginia woman has become a prime example of why you should always listen to your instincts.
Last month, Deborah Brown felt strangely drawn towards a sequence of numbers: 1-0-3-1.
"A couple of times during the day, I saw those numbers," the Richmond resident told the Virginia Lottery.
Because she couldn't shake her attraction to the numeral sequence, she bought twenty different Pick 4 lottery tickets, all with the same combination of numbers.
Later that very same day, she went ahead and bought ten more of the tickets with the same sequence. Feeling confident, she waited to see if she was a winner.
As it turns out, her instincts were correct: all thirty of her lottery tickets were winners. If she had just bought one ticket, she would have just won the top prize of $5,000 – but with all of her winning tickets combined, she won $150,000.
"I nearly had a heart attack!" Brown exclaimed.
According to a Pick 4 lottery spokesman in a statement to The New York Times, Brown's success is all the more shocking considering how the odds of winning the Pick 4 lottery are reportedly about 1 in 10,000.
Though Brown says that she doesn't have any plans for her winnings just yet, she says she might use the money to do some home renovations.
