What would you do with $11,255,272?
Couple lavishes entire lotto jackpot on charities, family
By PATRICIA BROOKS ARENBURG Staff Reporter
LOWER TRURO — They won $11.2 million from a lottery ticket in July. And now every penny is gone. But Allen and Violet Large didn’t spend any of it on themselves. And that’s just the way they like it.
"That money that we won was nothing," said Allen, choking back tears. "We have each other."
Violet has been through surgery and finished her last chemotherapy treatment a week ago.
"All the money in the world can’t buy your health," he said.
"We’re the lucky ones," Violet said. "I have no complaints."

She is also recovering from cancer treatments.

You'll notice they weren't compelled to do so by the ****ing government.
These folks decided for themselves the right course of action for their circumstances, and followed through.
Libtard moobats would've sunk their filthy mitts into it as soon as the check cleared.
-
I'm sure the government got their pound of flesh. I hope they at least hired a good tax attorney to deal with the paperwork.
-
You know, they could have invested it and been helping others a little along for 20 years and still had all the money.
Easy come, easy go.

True, but people appreciate money during hard times more than when things are going well. I've seen a couple news articles about charitable giving being down this year.
I'm sure the new regulations and tax codes had nothing to do with it. ::)

The Government took 40% right off the top. You can rest assured. If I ever won THAT much, I could spend probably a Million, maybe two on myself & Inga and the rest MIGHT go to some family or more than likely, my favorite charities.

Wow! That takes a lot of compassion and generosity. I've always said I'd give away a whole lot if I won, but I ain't gonna lie, I wouldn't give it all away. Good on them. That is amazing and wonderful.

In the process, making some sleezy lawyer rich while he pilfers it over time.

A retired Canadian couple who won $11.3 million in the lottery in July have already given it (almost) all away.
"What you've never had, you never miss," 78-year-old Violet Large explained to a local reporter
