Girl's present from dad turns her into a multimillionaire on her 19th birthday

19 year old Deisi Ocampo from Chicago is now a multimillionaire after accepting and scratching two lottery tickets her dad gave her as birthday present on October 6th.

Deisi told ABC News exactly what happened
"I rarely play the lottery. My dad buys tickets once in a while and thought it would fun to get me two tickets for my birthday. The following day, I didn’t think much of it when I scratched off the first set of numbers. But when I finished scratching the second ticket, I began to shake and sweat out of nervousness. I just couldn’t believe it was real.”
 The birthday girl had won $4 million dollars.

Deise said she immediately called her father who was also stunned.
“He couldn’t believe it. He thought I was teasing him. When I told him I had won, he asked if it was $500, and I said, ‘No $4 million!’”
On how she plans to spend the money
"I will share with my dad so he can buy a new home for my mom, dad and sister,” she said. “I plan to use a portion to pay for college since I want to become a nurse and take care of babies.”
When asked if this was the best birthday present she’s ever received, Deisi replied, “Definitely!”

    Hello readers, please I am in need of advice, I recently went to a fashion school to learn tailoring and making of Ankara bags, shoes and accessories. My problem now is that I want to make them in bulk and sell but I am not familiar with marketting and shy also thus its difficult for me to sell them, so am wondering how to go about it and if it's possible I could find someone who could help me market and sell even tho I won't be able to pay the person for like a month or two until I make enough profit. Please I need advice on how to go about this so I can help myself and my family. Thanks in advance

      Y not drop ur email so u cud get contacted....u cn start with that
      Beside social media is a good platform, u can start up a page on facebook to showcase your goods, advertise on olx and kayamu , upload pictures on facebook and ask your frnds to share it
      My dear tell people in your neighborhood
      U dont even need to do lots of marketing this days gan, onyibo ti saye dero ....start with advertising ur stuffs on line

      Goodluck

      1. Start by telling the people you know (school, church, market, neighbours)
      2. Share the pictures of the finished wears, shoes and bags on social media
      3. You must be bold and daring sometimes. You can not get potential customers if you don't let go your shyness.
      4. Visit boutiques, fashion stores that sell those things and introduce it to them. They may be willing to buy.
