LUCKY MUM LIVED OFF 400 EURO PER MONTH

Listen to this article

As a struggling matriarch of a family of 11, Almería mum Yolanda was the only member of the family lucky enough to have work, although the phrase “lucky” could be questioned, as she brought home her 400 euro monthly salary.

Sad, overworked, miserable, facing the challenges of life, struggling through every bill and meal, little did Yolanda know that, lady luck was about to shine down on her, changing her life and her fortune in the ultimate Mother´s day gift.

A lucky play on the Mother´s day lottery draw has now seen a fortune delivered to the family, as Yolanda scooped a 40,000 euro prize. The draw shared 17 million euro in two villages of Almería, of which 15 million went to one very lucky winner, but Yolanda is more than happy with her 40,000 euro, one of 8 people who won that small fortune, and has already planned a slap up meal and then a car, to enable her to drive to and from work.
