Lottery Winner Uses $40M to Honor Late Wife
A Canadian man who just won $40 million in the Lotto Max jackpot knows exactly what he wants to do with his newfound wealth: he is giving it all away to charity.
For James "Bim" Costello, April 15th was one of the worst days of his life. At the finish line of the Boston Marathon when the bomb exploded, he suffered not only physical wounds but emotional trauma, after learning about his friends and their injuries. Recovering in Spaulding Hospital, and wondering what good could come from the tragedy, he met a nurse named Krista.

"After sharing a handful of conversations I realized not only how beautiful she was but also what a kind heart she had (and) somehow convinced her to attend a benefit with me," Costello wrote.

"We got engaged last night in the middle of the beautiful French city Lyon!!!"
