British woman gives up half of the lottery winnings [Humility Pole]

A British woman who won millions of euros in the EuroMillions lottery in 2019 calls it “addiction” and has already given up more than half of it.

Francis Connolly always thought he would win the lottery someday.
She was confident and even made a list of people who could receive a wad of money if she hit. In 2019, her dream came true when she and her husband Paddy won £ 1m (US $ 1500m) in the EuroMillions draw.

It's about 18,664,866,217 yen in Japanese yen ...
If the average annual income in Japan is 3 million yen, you wouldn't have to worry about money even if you make 62 laps in your life ...
If it is 186 billion, isn't the element of life's replay a clear level?

Since then, Connolly has kept her plan.
Friends and family received some money shortly after her election.
But,Connolly donates most of his winnings to charityis doing.She says these charities nourish "addiction."

According to media Independent.ie, her donations are now estimated to be around £ 6000 million (US $ 7529 million).

Budget bankruptcy

Connolly, a former social worker and teacher, tried to budget to distribute donations with lottery winnings.

But it was harder than she thought.After making her donation, she became more enjoyable and she now states that she is "topical and addictive."I'm addicted to it now.

She enjoys the sensations of helping others. It was her lifeline that she started to give people fun when the COVID-19 pandemic.Connolly admits that she has already donated what she was budgeted to donate until 2032.

Originally from Northern Ireland, Connolly has set up two charitable funds to distribute and raise money from others.One is named after his late mother Katharine Graham and the other is the PFC Trust.

The latter is located in Hartlepool, a port city in England.Here, Mr. and Mrs. Connolly have spent the past 20 years building their lives.
The PFC Trust is committed to helping young caregivers, the elderly and refugees in the region.At the Gala event held this Saturday, a donation of £ 10 was raised.

Frugality is a virtue

Mr. and Mrs. Connolly do not live in luxury.The biggest expense is to buy a big house on a vast site.But while her husband runs a plastics business, Francis, who manages property and charity, is still in a used car.

"If you are stupid before you get rich, you will be stupid even after you become rich.
Money doesn't make you smarter.
If you have money, you can be who you want to be. "

Says Francis Connolly.

Connolly found her vocation.
With this money, she buys a mobile device that allows older people to get in touch with their families.
It is also used for employment measures in the local community.For her, it's worth more than the millions of pounds of her lottery.

Warren Buffett and Bill Gates have been donating since they didn't have money, and they're always frugal.

I think it's a great saying, "If you're stupid before you get rich, you'll be stupid after you get rich."
Money doesn't make you smarter, so don't get me wrong.

In a sense, the act of buying a lottery ticket can also be called a donation in Japan.
You should buy with the concept of donation rather than low expectations.
Sometimes being humble and not greedy may be one of the ways to make money.
