As for donating to this Kansas Hospital, why would you, as a Texan, want to? You live in Texas. I would think you would want to donate to your nearby local hospital.

Why not give to someone that does not live in my area? If my pockets were deep enough I'd give to the Shriner's Hospital every week. There are a lot of people out there that need help. There are a lot of non-profit organizations that need help also. If my giving will help keep the doors open just one more day then so be it.... [ More ]

Congrats to this lucky generous person. I wouldn't give up all of a win of this amount but if I hit a really big jackpot I'd dedicate a lot of time researching who/where to donate. I have a short list already (church, food bank, hospice, USO, etc) but would want to spread the wealth a bit further.

What a great post! This is spreading the wealth as it should be in a free society. I would be generous if I won a jackpot, but I would be able to do even more if it were tax free!

I am waiting to see how generous I can be after Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing ......... I spent a little extra for my birthday ........ odds against winning, but a small pleasure in an otherwise frugal life

No, all the donor had to do was write Mitchell County Hospital on the ticket and attach a note stating where the ticket was bought and when. Typically, when someone comes in to the lottery office, lottery officials test the winner to see if he/she knows where and when the ticket was purchased. Otherwise, the lottery officials may become suspicious and investigate further. This has already happened several times in California where the winner arrived at the office and could not give officials thi... [ More ]

I've always wanted to know -- does this hospital will have to pay state and/or federal taxes on this lottery monies income

I am thrilled for the hospital and very thrilled to see that greed does not run this hospital. All the executive director had to do was write her name of the ticket and pocket a cool $10K. But because she is a moral and upstanding person she did the right thing. Too bad there are not more people like her than the greedy folks that run a lot of the large corporations in this world.

Wish I had the resources to donate in order to help them renovate.

I pray that the anonymous donor has many mo... [ More ]

Anonymous donor gives lottery ticket to Kansas hospital

Includes video report

Imagine the surprise to open your mail and find a lottery ticket worth thousands of dollars. It happened in one Kansas county this month and now the hospital in Beloit is all the richer for it.

Hospitals in small communities such as the one in Mitchell County are a big deal. That's why, when Susan Concannon opened up an anonymous letter a few weeks ago, she was completely overjoyed.

$10,000!!! Concannon exclaimed as she showed us the celebratory check from the K... [ More ]
