The story of Allen & Violet Large, by Elizabeth Payne is well worth considering.
It is heartwarming to say the least. It is also worth reflecting upon - both the notion of contentment and the generosity.
My only question is: "Why ever were they purchasing lottery tickets in the first place?"
Perhaps the practice of purchasing lottery tickets has become such a routine part of people's lives that they don't even think about it....? Curious behaviour when the general populace seems to, for example, whinge about paying pennies extra for fueling their vehicles... Especially here in British Columbia, where it is an intentional tax on carbon.
