A 72 year old Iowa resident has no desire to take it easy after winning $100,000 in the lottery. Instead, he's focusing on how he's finally fulfilled his longtime promise to his wife.

Intelligent people would agree that around 50 years (40 to 50 years) qualifies as a long time.

Therefore, Mr. Wood was always lucky.

He was lucky to marry such a wonderful woman who stood by him through thick and thin.
