BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — A Minnesota mom says she said a little prayer before sinking a half-court shot to win thousands of dollars off her daughter’s private school tuition.

Angela Ramey and her daughter, Grace, raised the most money in a school fundraiser at Bethany Academy in Bloomington, Minnesota, earning three chances to make the half-court shot and knock $4,000 off tuition next year.

Grace gave her mom the basketball, and on the final try Angela launched it underhand. It bounced, swished through the net and the crowd went wild. The mother and daughter screamed with joy.

The Rameys were in New York on Thursday for an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America” to celebrate the winning basket.
