A woman who was addicted to giving to charity and who won more than $145 million (£115 million) in the lottery was able to overindulge in her addiction after receiving the windfall.

Frances Connelly’s story is making headlines all over the United Kingdom and Ireland due to the fact that she has already donated £60 million ($74 million) along with her husband, “Patty” Patrick, who actually purchased the winning lottery ticket.

“Providing aid to others… it just gives you A buzz. Connelly, who is 55 years old, stated in an interview that he has become addicted to it.

Connelly has always been one to lend a helping hand to those in need. As a child, she volunteered with St. John’s Ambulance, and later, while she was attending school in Belfast, she established an AIDS helpline.

She is the leader of a number of community organizations that engage in a wide range of activities, such as assisting refugees and supplying elders with tablets so they may make video calls to their relatives.

They did purchase a new home, however; it is a large house near Durham that has six bedrooms and sits on seven acres of land. This was one of their special treats.

She says, “I’ve never actually had to come to terms with all that money because we’ve had it for such a short amount of time,” adding that the majority of it has already been distributed among her large family, donated to charity, or stored away somewhere secure.

“I’ve never actually had to come to terms with all that money because we’ve had it for such a short amount of time,” she says.

“If I had any words of wisdom for a victor, it would be… According to what she told the BBC, which was also reporting on her winnings, money “liberates you to be the person that you want to be.” If you are stupid before you acquire it, you will still be foolish after you get it.
