Geraldine Gimblet with her daughter and granddaughter – credit Florida Lottery

After shelling out her life savings to pay for her daughter’s breast cancer treatment, a Florida grandmother got a nod from the universe.

Buying the last available scratch-off from her preferred lottery game at the store, she landed a $2 million jackpot.

Geraldine Gimblet of Lakeland was celebrating the moment that her daughter, Lawrencia Jackson, rang a bell at the local hospital signifying she had finished her breast cancer treatment.

A long-time lottery player, Gimblet, 74, spent $10 on the last scratch-off card at the store, and it happened to be a winner.

“I just didn’t know,” Gimblet told Good Morning America regarding her reaction, “I was like, ‘Are you sure, would you check this on your phone?’ And, I won!”

Daughter Jackson, who accompanied Gimblet to the Tallahassee lottery offices to accept a lump sum of $1.6 million, described it as a “blessing.”

Gimblet didn’t hesitate to finance the cancer treatment, saying she just “did what I had to do,” with Jackson adding that she would “just have to keep loving her,” as a means to try and repay the kindness.
