DANBURY, Conn.—One of Donald Peters' final acts has resulted in a lasting legacy of financial security for his wife of 59 years and their family.
On Nov. 1, Peters bought two Connecticut Lottery tickets at a local 7-Eleven store 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 Danbury yard.
On Friday, his widow cashed in one of the tickets: a $10 million winner which, in her grief over her husband's death, she had put aside and almost discarded before recently checking the numbers.
"I'm numb," Charlotte Peters, 79, said Friday at Connecticut Lottery headquarters in Rocky Hill. "I'm still numb."
