This article is from People Magazine. This couple right here is Allen and Violet Large. Allen is 75 and Violet is 78. They met in 1964. Ever since 1983, they have purchased two lottery tickets every week. Last year, Violet called the lottery hotline to check out the winning numbers and turns out they won. They won $11.2 million dollars and guess what they did with it? They donated it all to doctors, their own country, family and kept none for themselves.They say they are content with their ‘87 Dodge Diplomat Suburban and their 148 year old Victorian home.
Here’s a quote from Violet near the end:
“Money can’t buy happiness.
We have everything we need; I have Allen and he has me.”
