An amazing story of selflessness. William Kiefer, winner of the largest prize in Texas Lottery history is donating 60% of his after-tax prize to charity. Kiefer said this win is an opportunity to be an example for others regarding his faith and raise awareness for worthy causes such as abused children, relief for Haiti and support for retired nuns.

“To see him want to be generous with women who have spent their life trying to be generous to others is a good thing,” Sister Deneen Hubbard, of the Sisters of Charity of Incarnate Word, said. “Whatever it is that the sisters did for him before he won the lottery, it worked.”

What an amazing gift that will be greatly appreciated by many.Mr. Keifer proves that there still are wonderfully good people in the world.
