Some lottery winners might consider upgrading their cars for a Bugatti, Porsche or another high-priced sports car, but then again most blow through their money and wind up poor years down the line. So maybe for once the world could use a story about a lottery winner making a smart, sensible purchase, and we've got just the tale to tell.
Recently, a resident of Washington state named Lisa Quam, who'd never played the lottery before by the way, purchased a couple of Powerball tickets with her husband at a grocery store on Thanksgiving Day. The very lucky couple won a $90 million jackpot. Shzam! And soon after Quam quit her job at Boeing and purchased a brand-new vehicle.
What vehicle you ask? A Subaru Forester.
While there's a strong following of Subie fans in the northwest, many might still be surprised at her vehicle choice, but we think it was a wise one. Quam looks forward to traveling more and the new 2015 Subaru Forester's efficient engines and continuously variable transmission (CVT) offer impressive fuel economy for short or long trips. Plus, when living in an area with fairly rainy weather year round, owning an SUV with standard high-traction all-wheel drive is a great convenience.
In addition, Forester is stylish on the outside and comfortable and well-equipped on the inside, with features like a color multifunction display, Bluetooth Hands-free Phone and Audio Streaming, and a rearview camera among other amenities.
Check out our inventory now to find the new 2015 Forester! No matter where you live or how much you've won playing the lottery, it's a smart investment if you're shopping for a new SUV.
