CANCER VICTIM DIES AFTER BIG LOTTERY WIN IN NOVEMBER

-

A Newfoundla­nd woman who was suffering from an advanced form of cancer when she won a $1.5-million lottery jackpot in November has died. Diane Elaine Bishop of Mount Pearl had Stage 4 breast cancer. An online obituary says the 51-year-old convenienc­e store operator, who had two sons in their 20s, died Tuesday surrounded by her family. In October, Bishop told CBC she couldn’t afford to stop working at the Mount Pearl store, and strangers came forward to offer her financial support. She won the lottery a month later.
