    Widow Wins Lottery on Spouse's Ticket

    By Spontaneous  |  Posted January 4, 2009  
     

    On the day that Donald Peters died, he unknowingly provided financial security for his wife of 59 years and their family.

     

    Peters bought two Connecticut Lottery tickets at a local 7-Eleven store on Nov. 1 as part of a 20-year tradition he shared with his wife Charlotte.

     

    Later that day, the 79-year-old retired hat factory worker suffered a fatal heart attack while working in his yard in Danbury.
