Canadian couple gives away entire $11.2M lottery jackpotGo on - read the whole thing here.
A Nova Scotia couple won $11.2 million from a lottery ticket in July and now every penny is gone.
But Allen and Violet Large of Lower Truro didn't spend any of it on themselves.
They say they decided to take care of family, organizations and institutions instead.
"What you've never had, you never miss," said Violet, 78.
Married since 1974, the couple does not live large. They don't travel, they don't gamble (beyond playing the lottery) and they don't buy what they don't need.
...
But the big win came at a difficult time in their lives: Violet was undergoing treatment for cancer that doctors discovered in the spring.
"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.
Well Alan and Violet, thank you for reminding us what is important in life. God Bless.
