I am sure that 82 year old Virginia Beach resident Vincente Mosquera who is employed as a waiter at an Italian restaurant whose name was not mentioned due to privacy issues is a very happy person after he played the Cash 5 with EZ Match in late April. Vincente won $285,316 dollars on the drawing on April 23. Vincente bought the winning lottery ticket at a Food Lion in Virginia Beach by matching 5 the winning numbers that he played based on numbers that someone told him many years ago. Despite Vincente winning the huge lottery prize, he has no plans to retire anytime soon since he enjoys his work as a waiter which is something that money cannot buy. I guess Vincente knows the saying "Age is just a number,"

Jobs give people more than just monetary payment for services rendered. It also gives a person a social outlet and human contact that they may not get otherwise. Vincente has this extra $$ to help out his loved ones or to do with as he pleases.

That is true since serving others is the source of being happy in life.

I think he might get bored if he retires.

Most senior citizens admit that they do not have something to keep them going, they die of a broken heart.

WOW! I wish I could also win the lottery, but no luck YET, Perhaps in the future. I admire him for choosing to work when he can live comfortably from his win. Simple little things do mean a lot even to a lotto winner.
