Great story next. Winning the lottery and living a luxurious life.
That's what most of us only dream about, right?
But one elderly couple had different plans after they hit it big. Kevin Harvey explains that.
They still live in the same 147-year-old home.
There are no new cars in the garage, and no giant TV in the living room.
The Larges say they haven't spent any of the money on themselves.
Nothing. We haven't bought one thing. That's it, because there's nothing that we need.
You can't buy happiness.
Or health, 78-year-old Violet is just getting over surgery and six chemo treatments for cancer,
but it hasn't changed her outlook on life.
It could be worse because I'm not bedfast, but...and I haven't been sick to my stomach.
So, I mean, I'm very fortunate.
One of the things the couple isn't worried about is what to do with all that money.
That's because most of it is gone, some to family, but the majority, they hand-delivered to charities.
We've made donations, which really has perked us up.
We've helped hospitals and the fire departments and churches and the cemeteries,
and all charitable donations we have given to, and they've all been well-appreciated.
The couple doesn't want to talk about how much each received.
But when they seen the check, their eyes really opened up wide.
It made us feel good that we could do something to help other people.
The couple knew the money couldn't help with Violet's health problems,
so with the money out of the way, they are spending more time on Violet's recovery.
She says, "I may not be able to get up and dance.
I may not be able to get up and swing the highland fling or anything,"
but she said, "I'm quite happy, I'm coming every day and feeling a little bit better, a little bit better every day," so...
And I've never been down and out, so what more do you want.
Allen and Violet say they have kept some money for emergencies,
and yes, they are still buying lottery tickets.
