I mean do you think she like won the Jerusalem Lotto because he saw her do it or nothing at all happened. I kind of think nothing happened because then she would get a greater reward in Heaven. As a matter of fact I bet she died not too long after Jesus. Her reward was waiting in Heaven.

Interesting question. This is something I've never thought of.
I don't think her reward was just in Heaven. Likely, she recieved a reward in this system, maybe a family took her in, or a relative. The Bible says “Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these [other] things will be added to YOU." - Matthew 6:33 Meaning that if you work towards sacred things first, your other needs will be taken care of. This is probably what happened to the woman.
Of course, you wouldn't want to go as far as the grandmother mentioned in the other question recently posed.

We can't say for sure how she was rewarded because the scriptures do not tell us. We do know that God "is the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him", so it stands to reason he does have something wonderful in store for this faithful women.
Also her act of generosity and the example she set for us in giving to others as been recorded in the scriptures for the world to read, to be mentioned as an example to follow by Jesus and be mentioned in Gods word the Bible is pretty rewarding.

You know it just might be that it is not a matter of putting a person into heaven, but rather it is a matter putting heaven into a person. Perhaps she already had heaven and fear not the next moment in the least.

She was blessed because of her selfless deed. Same thing happens today! You don't get greater rewards in Heaven if you do certain things. Going to Heaven IS our reward for believing in Christ and what He did for us.

I hate collections for money. But this lady put in everything she had, because it shows she trusts in God, that even if she has no money anymore, she isn't afraid to give, or become penniless.

The little poor widow was more blessed because she gave out of her need and all that she had. The rich men gave out of their abundance.

She is dead.
I believe she will goto heaven some day soon, if she kept following God with the meekness she had.

She is the symbol of trust in God. She trusted God to provide for her. She is in the Bible for reason...people are still talking about her...and asking about her even here...
She is with God. That is the best place.
