Man Leaves Money to Strangers

If you don't have any family, you could do what Luis da Camera did and pick names from the phone book.

Portuguese man left money in his will to 70 strangers

Luis da Camara made his will at the age of 29 by picking names out of the Lisbon telephone directory.

He had no family, reports the Mirror.

Luis died earlier this month, aged just 42, leaving two houses, a car and £17,000 in cash.

The 70 strangers will each get around £6,000.

One beneficiary Helena Suares, 76, said: "At first I thought it was a hoax, but I need the money and I am very grateful to him."
