Beverly Palmer has one of our favorite quotes from a lottery winner ever. She said that she didn't choose her lottery numbers; they chose her. That's because Beverly bought a quick pick lottery ticket, meaning the computer chose a random set of numbers for her. And, those numbers won her $25 million in June of 2008!Beverly Palmer is a Jamaican-born Canadian woman living in Toronto, Ontario. She immigrated from Jamaica 39 years ago. She had had some tough luck just prior to her lottery win. A few months prior to her big win, the 59-year-old woman was laid off from her job at a technology company and it was really difficult for her to find another job. She was really concerned about her future and having a tough time, financially. Yet, every week she managed to find a few dollars to play the lottery. Now, she says she will worry no more. And, good for her!
The funny thing was that Beverly Palmer didn't even realize how much she had won. She checked her ticket at a lottery terminal scanner at the store, but couldn't really add up all the zeros. She figured she won $250,000. Then, when she got home, she phoned her brother. He checked the numbers and told her she won the jackpot. She still couldn't believe it. So, she spent the next few hours calling relatives and friends to verify the numbers. It took a lot of convincing for Beverly to realize that she was a big winner.
Beverl Palmer said that she will use the money to share with family, do some travelling, and go back to school. She said she wants to study finance.
