Great-grandma buys a cellphone after winning $30,000 in lottery

You may fantasize about the first thing you'd buy if you won the lottery: a new car, a new house or an expensive vacation for example. This 95-year-old woman had something different in mind: she bought a cellphone.

Ursula McCafferty is a mother of 5, grandmother of 12 and great-grandmother of 4 won. She $30,000 in the Connecticut Lottery after spending $30 on tickets. She plays the lottery every Friday for fun.

"I had a little one and it didn't do anything," McCafferty told ABC News about her old cellphone. "I don't want to be one of these people that has my thumb stuck on my phone all the time but I want to be able to look up the weather and be able to send a photo."

The retired postwoman, however, is not frivolously spending the rest of the money. Most of it is going to family members. "I've never been able to do what I like what to do, so I decided that my children are going to get $2,000 each," she said. "And my daughter who lives here is going to get $3,000."

Said daughter takes care of McCafferty and drives her around when needed, so she gave her an extra thousand.

Her children have already sent her roses as a "thank you" for her generosity.
