95 year old upgrades her tech

Here’s a happy story to end the week. Huffington Post’s Post50 ran a story last week about a lucky lottery winner. 95-Year-Old Woman Uses Lottery Winnings To Join 21st Century features the winner of a scratch-off ticket who plans to buy herself an upgraded cell phone. “Once it had all sunk in, the great-grandmother quickly began thinking about how she’d spend the cash. In the end, she decided to buy a great treat for herself: a new smartphone.” Now granted, smartphones don’t cost $30,000 (the amount of her winnings) so the article notes she plans to put the rest in a trust for her family.  She explained, ““I’m 95 and there’s not a hell of a lot more I can keep doing with it….”

Congratulations!
