An Illinois man who fell on hard times found the answer to all of his problems in a cookie jar. Ricardo Cerezo of Geneva, Ill., was devastated when he lost their 14-year-old daughter, Savannah, to a series of seizures, according to NBC Chicago. Months later, in February, the family was in danger of losing their home to foreclosure, the Beacon-News reported yesterday. Cerezo and his family were just days from eviction when his wife encouraged him to finally check the 11 lotto tickets that he'd accumulated in a cookie jar. The jar contained the tickets and a few mementos; it was left in Savannah's bedroom, which the family has left untouched in the months since her passing, according to NBC.
