Vicky Umodu from California said she was never tempted to keep the money and immediately called the family to give it back.

She said, "God has been kind to me and my children, they're all alive and well, I have three beautiful grandchildren, so what can I ever ask from God?"

The family agreed to pay for a new refrigerator for Vicky's honestly and gave her $2,200.
