Helping Her Church
While everything seemed to be going so well for Marie, things took an unexpected turn. She promised pastor Kevin Matthews a sizable donation as a thank you for all the times he had been there for her. She thought that he was trustworthy and never expected what happened next.
Back To The Community
Marie told her pastor that she was willing to give a 10% tithe from her winnings in order for the church to build a retreat. The generous offer would come out to about $1.5 million of her lottery winnings. She felt it was important to give back to her community.
