This couple is Allen & Violet Large. They are from Canada. Allen is 75 and Violet is 78. They have been together since 1964. They retired in 1983 and since that time, they purchased two lottery tickets every single week. Last year, Violet called the lottery hotline to check out the winning numbers and it turned out they had won. Eleven and a half million dollars. Guess what they did with it? They donated it all. Benefactors of the Large's largesse were hospitals, charities and family members. They kept none of it for themselves.
They said they were content with their 1987 Dodge Diplomat and their 148 year old Victorian home.
Violet said: ”Money can’t buy happiness. What you've never had, you never miss. We have everything we need; I have Allen and he has me.“
Can it get any better than that?
And be blessed.
