The day I won the lottery, my life took an unexpected turn. I’d always lived a simple, hardworking life for my daughter, never relying on luck. My sister, Jasmine, was the complete opposite, relying on boyfriends and luck to get by, while I worked my way up, paying off my car and buying my apartment on my own.When I won the lottery, I decided to donate it to charity, not believing in easy money.

At a family dinner, I told my mom and sister, who were less than thrilled. Jasmine, in particular, reacted harshly, while Mom suggested I think of my daughter. Despite their judgment, I stuck to my decision.The next morning, Jasmine came to my house, visibly upset and pregnant. She asked for financial help, promising to pay me back, but I offered her half of the lottery money, saying I would still donate the other half. Just as things seemed to settle, I received a call that Mom was in the hospital.
