Tom Crist, a lottery winner from Canada, made one of the most generous charitable donations by a lottery winner in history. After losing his wife to cancer, Crist won a lottery and pledged to donate all of his winnings to organizations fighting the disease. As Canada does not tax lottery winnings, Crist was able to donate the full amount of his $40 million prize.
It is worth noting that Crist’s donation is just one example of the generosity of lottery winners. Over the years, many lottery winners around the world have used their winnings to support charitable causes, ranging from cancer research to disaster relief efforts. In fact, according to a study by the UK’s National Lottery, over 6,600 lottery millionaires have been created in the UK since 1994, and many of them have used their newfound wealth to support various charitable causes.
