A graduation gift of $1 turned into a lifetime lottery prize for a woman in Connecticut.
The father of 22-year-old Anissa Dellaripa brought her $1 Win for Life ticket. She was shocked when she won a prize of $2,000 a month for life.
"My dad often buys me scratch tickets for fun," Dellaripa told UPI.
 "He gave me this one and said, 'Here, scratch it.' The ticket cost only a dollar; he didn't really think anything of it. I went to my room, scratched the ticket, and couldn't believe it when I saw the 'WIN FOR LIFE' prize [symbol]. I thought he gave me a fake ticket as a joke, but I really won!"
"It's a lot of money for me because I'm so young. I just graduated in June with an Associate's Degree. This [prize] will help me to go back to school for my Bachelor's Degree. It's a gift my father can leave me with for the rest of my life," she said.
