WATCH: (Scroll Down For Video) A 90-year-old woman from Florida has donated all of her $43 million winnings to her friends and family.
Ruby Sorah, aged 90, won the $45 million jackpot on February 17th and decided to take her winnings in a lump-sum payment of $31,000,000.
Rick O’Callaghan, whose brother is one of the couple’s neighbors, called their decision heartwarming.
‘It’s great. They’re the quietest, nicest, most reserved people you ever saw in your life,’ he told Fox 13.
‘He only comes out to get the mail. Still mows his own lawn. Real, real simple people, got a real, real simple life.’
‘So God bless them. That’s just super,’ he said.
Ruby Sorah purchased the winning ticket at a Winn-Dixie grocery store on Park Boulevard.
The store will receive $100,000 in commission for selling the ticket.
“I think if I were in their situation, I would seriously thinking about doing the same thing. So God bless them. That’s just super,” a neighbor said.
