its a shame that the old man died. but at least he got to experience the big win. and good thing he was married or else the gov't would have taken half of his estate.

I've been giving ever since I started playing the lotteries over 20 years ago, if I ever win big the lottery would be giving back to me. I would probably continue to play and buy even more tickets so in a way I would be giving back but I wouldn't tell anyone about it. * Trying is the first step toward failure *

Yes but wether you believe it's right or wrong to put it on the front page that you gave so much to charities and celebraties do it all the time. It's a welcome relief to see a Lottery Winner of such a large sum actually doing some good with thier money instead of using it for illicit purposes. My Hat goes off to this family for doing good things with thier money and Brag away let others that win the Lottery know that others can benefit from your winning that are less fortunate.

It doesn't appear to me like they went looking for publicity about their charities, it was probably a slow news day. Either way, it's good to see a happy news story about a large winner.

I thought we were supposed to by now be reading about these people going to Pink Ponies and getting kicked out of bars and ramming toll booths in their "Humbees" and pinching casino waitresses on the ---! I guess NOT.. this was how one guy started out anyway by forming a charity for poor people in his state and hopefully this one turns out better.. and I hope someone in nj wins like that because I sorta don't live in Oregon. (How are the Lerners doing these days?)

This is good to see after all the stories we hear about the winners that do stupid things. See: David Edwards......
