The mother of a five-year-old Sunderland fan suffering from cancer has said Everton's £200,000 donation has helped them reach their target for him to undergo treatment in the United States.
Bradley Lowery was Sunderland's mascot in their 3-0 defeat against the Toffees at the Stadium of Light on Monday evening.
After the match, Everton announced on their Twitter account that the club had donated £200,000, which his mother, Gemma, said felt like winning the lottery.
Gemma Lowery told the BBC: "It's amazing, not in a million years did we think that would happen.
"We were in the limo on the way home when my sister-in-law rang and told us about the donation.
"I didn't believe her, we had to look on the internet to check if it was true.
"When we saw it, everyone was screaming and shouting. It is like we have won the lottery."
She added: "We have now put the money down for the treatment, but the fundraising definitely needs to go on.
"If it turns out Bradley doesn't need the money that gets fundraised, it will be given to someone else who needs it."
Bradley Lowery told the Sunderland Echo: "This has been amazing. I got to meet Jermain Defoe, who's my favourite and everyone said my name. Thank you everyone."
