“Helping People” And Police Help A Marriage
A woman who says she’s “addicted to helping people” won more than $145 million (£115 million) million in the lottery, allowing her to help a LOT of people.
Frances Connelly has already given away $74 million (£60 million) with her husband, “Patty” Patrick, who actually bought the winning ticket. 55-year-old Frances has been helping people since childhood, working as a St. John’s Ambulance volunteer, and she set up an AIDS helpline while a student in Belfast. She also runs several community groups, so winning the EuroMillions 2019 jackpot gave her all kinds of ideas on how to help people. She used some money to immediately set up 2 charities, and she has also donated about $13.5 million (£11 million) directly to other charities. The couple also bought a new house.
A couple got married on an island near Boston on Saturday, but it almost didn’t happen. The bride was already at the venue, but the groom and groomsmen were waiting for the last ferry across when it broke down. So a cop helped them out.
An officer with the Boston Harbor Patrol used his boat to take them all across. It turned out the DJ, florist, and wedding photographer all needed a ride too, so they hopped on as well.
