Long Island Lottery Winner Helps Family Avoid Possible Foreclosures

A local man that shared in a major lottery jackpot with 20 co-workers took his new millions in wealth all in stride. The 74-year-old chose not to switch to an extravagant lifestyle but to instead help his family and others. He put aside a relatively miniscule amount for his wife and himself. He felt that was all the two of them needed considering their simple lifestyle and pensions they were already receiving. He and his wife bought a new car and made a couple trips to Disneyworld, but overall, nothing fancy. The vast majority of his share of the winnings (after taxes, of course) went to their three kids. With the windfall from their parents lottery win, the couple's children were able to pay off home mortgages and reduce the number of jobs they were working to stay afloat.
