Good things happen to good people. · 05:31 PM

My mother in law's stepson Peter and his wife Elaine are hard working people.They tend a horse ranch in Maine for a wealthy guy and do it well.Peter just had knee surgery and still tried to do his job despite the pain.Peter bought a $20 Maine scratch ticket and hit for $1,000,000.Life should be a little better for the both of them now.

I love a fairybook story.--charliezap
