A Massachusetts woman is being praised for what she did immediately after winning $200 on a scratch-off lottery ticket.
Sofia Andrade was at a stop sign in New Bedford, Massachusetts, when she played a scratch ticket and found out she had won $200. As soon as she looked up, she saw Glenn Williams right in front of her.
Williams had been homeless for 3 years and was out panhandling on that cold night. As soon as she found out she had a winning ticket, Andrade knew what she had to do.
"I knew that the money never really belonged to me," Andrade told WCVB. "This money was meant to help him."
Andrade called Williams over to her car and said that she wanted to take him to Dunkin Donuts to buy him a coffee.
"He was so overwhelmed by just the generosity of coffee that he just couldn't stop crying," she said.
While speaking to Williams, Andrade learned he had been on the streets because no local homeless shelters had room for him. That's when she knew that she wanted to do even more for him. Andrade used the rest of her winnings to pay for a motel room for Williams for two nights.
