Women losses husband wins lottery.

Donald Peters had a 20-year tradition of buying lottery tickets for he and his wife Charlotte. On Nov.1 Donald bought two Connecticut Lottery tickets at a local 7-Eleven store later that day, the 79-year-old suffered a fatal heart attack while working in his yard.

The winning ticket Donald Peters bought bought on Nov. 1 for the Dec. 2 drawing and was among several tickets Charlotte Peters has set aside as she and their three children and two grandchildren coped with his sudden death.

While at a local grocery store Charlotte had the ticket checked and that's when she learned her husband had purchased a 10-million dollar winning lottery ticket.

Charlotte Peters has 60 days to decide whether to take a $6 million pre-tax lump sum payment or stretch the winnings into 21 yearly payments of almost $477,300 each.

I'm sure the Government is trying to figure out if they can not only tax her on the winnings but also get her with an inheritance tax as well! Spread the wealth!!
