Should one win the lotto, how would one proceed? Many of us have grandiose ideas of what we would buy with the money, such as a brand-new automobile or home.
However, one Massachusetts man who loved animals and won millions of dollars from a scratch-off was quick to donate his winnings to animals that were in need.
Paul Riley, a resident of Peabody, Massachusetts, bought an instant ticket game for the Massachusetts State Lottery called “100X Cash” from a nearby retailer. According to a news release, he scraped it off and was shocked to learn he had won the $4 million prize in the game.
Paul, who was described as “an animal lover,” arrived to pick up his reward with his small puppy, Raven:
In response to a question about his future plans, he generously stated that he would be donating a portion of his profits to the Animal Rescue League.
Seeing people give so freely of their riches is always encouraging, especially when it’s done to aid needy animals. Naturally, Paul intends to lavish himself and his family with money as well. He mentioned that he wants to get his wife a new car.
Paul received $2,600,000 as a one-time payment before taxes, according to the press release. The retailer from whence he purchased the fortunate scratch-off, Summit Variety, will also get a bonus of $40,000.
Congratulations to Paul on his incredible lottery victory! We appreciate your decision to donate to support animals in shelters!
