Jackpot: 101-year-old wins $50,000 Arizona Lottery scratch-off prize
A 101-year-old great-great-great-grandma got to pose with an oversized check last week after winning a $50,000 lottery scratch-off prize in Arizona.
The Arizona Republic said Lily Camacho plays the occasional scratch-off ticket that her 78-year-old son buys for her, with none paying off until last Tuesday. Her luck finally turned when she scratched off a $5 Money Tree game ticket and won the grand prize.
The Lord just told me to buy that ticket, Eusebio Camacho told the paper.
Arizona Lottery officials couldn't have been happier for the centenarian.
At 101 years old, she is one of the oldest Arizona Lottery winners we have had the pleasure of meeting and hope this win brings joy to her and her family this holiday season, said the agency's Karen Bach.
The Republic said Lily's plans for the money were a secret, but the winnings could come in handy when she goes Christmas shopping. She has 24 grandchildren, 39 great grandchildren, 19 great-great-grandchildren and one great-great-great-grandchild.

Congrats! I have never won anything......
Same here. I long ago figured out that no one could build those big fancy casinos if everybody won. A few people win and most lose. It didn't take me but a couple of times to figure out that I was not one of those who win, and I stopped gambling completely.
Far as this lady goes, not just Christmas, but her 102nd birthday party should be affairs to remember.
I think I have only bought 5 Lottery tickets in my life, and decided it just wasn't in the cards for me to win..I haven't bought one in years!!
I hope for her 102 nd birthday, she has the best party EVER!!
Good for her. Enjoy it grannie.
Well, I've won $38.00 once - best of wishes g-g-g-g-g-granma - you go lady.
