Single Mom Wins $7 Million Lottery & Keeps It a Secret

Posted on January 25, 2012 at 12:26 PM

Kathleen Crewe, 57, is your average single mom in just about every way. She lives in the town of Millbury, Massachusetts. She's worked as a controller for Goretti's supermarket for the past 17 years. Oh, and she just won $7 million on New Year's Day in the Massachusetts lottery.

The thing that separates Kathleen from the rest? The fact that she didn't tell anyone -- including her two college-age children -- until this past Tuesday.

Crewe hid the winning lottery ticket inside of a thermos, which was tucked inside of a fire-proof bag over the holiday weekend. She only told one person: Her sister. Crewe says that she's not one to play the lottery often, but that she decided to buy a ticket because sales were low and the odds seemed good.

She also says that once she receives the cash ($4.9 million after taxes), she plans on helping her mother make repairs to her home, and that she plans on continuing working.

Five mil in the bank? Yeah, you wouldn't want to quit a sweet gig at the supermarket.

Sounds like she has a brain that functions properly.

'Cause I know I'd blow about 750k on a few cars and then try and bank the rest.

:lol: It shouldn't be too long before she reconsiders that whole "continue working" plan. I see a significant reduction in her hours worked in the very near future.
