Woman gives lottery cash to beggar

 A Nigerian lottery winner gave all her prize money to a street beggar an hour after being given the cheque, a website said.
Forty-six-year old Rosemary Obiakor from Lagos won over three million naira (about $20,000) in the country`s national lottery, the Ananova website reported. 

In a ceremony, broadcast on local TV, Rosemary told reporters that she planned to donate all the money she had won to a "lucky beggar". 

"I have heard a lot of stories about how people win the lottery, and they get broke in the short run and come across a lot of misfortune. I am scared, and so I`ll give it to a lucky beggar on the street," she explained. 

After cashing in her cheque Rosemary handed the money to a woman begging with a two-year-old child, who was naturally delighted when presented with the bag of cash. 

The beggar gave some cash to other poor people on the street before disappearing with a promise to open a food shop.
