The 89-year-old paleta vendor from Little Village accepted a check Wednesday for $384,290 as beneficiary of the largest campaign in Illinois. But he has no plans to buy expensive toys or invest in stock. He's not even sure he'll buy a house.

Sanchez said he will no longer work as a paleta vendor for Paleteria y Neveria Poncho, a company he's worked with for more than 10 years.

"My body won't let me anymore. I did it out of necessity, but now I don't have to struggle anymore," he said.

What an amazing story. According to one of the televised broadcasts about this story donations came in from 60 different countries. So heartwarming to see people coming together from do many different places.

I hope they have a wonderful retirement.
