Anissa Dellaripa: Student who Won $2,000 Monthly for Life
A Serendipitous GiftIn a twist of fate, a casual gift from Anissa Dellaripa's father transformed her life forever. The 22-year-old South Windsor, Connecticut resident received an instant lottery ticket as a "gag" graduation present. Little did she know that this $1 ticket held a life-changing prize.
A Life-Altering Surprise
To Dellaripa's astonishment, she realized she had won $2,000 every month for the rest of her life. "My father often buys me scratch tickets, just for fun," Dellaripa explained. "He gave it to me and said, 'Here, scratch and win.'"
Choosing Longevity over Lump Sum
Dellaripa opted to receive the monthly payments rather than a lump sum of approximately $400,000. "This is a huge deal for a young woman like me," Dellaripa said. "I recently got my associate's degree in June, and these winnings will help me go back to finish my bachelor's."
A Lasting Legacy
"My father's gift will be with me for the rest of my life," Dellaripa expressed. The $2,000 monthly income provides her with financial security and allows her to pursue her educational goals, forever etching this serendipitous gift into the fabric of her life.
