What would you do if you won the lottery? Many of us have big dreams of what we would spend it on, like a new house or a car.
But when one animal-loving Massachusetts man won millions on a scratch-off, one of his first actions was to give back to pets in need.
Paul, who was described as “an animal lover,” arrived to pick up his reward with his small puppy, Raven:

In response to a question about his future plans, he generously stated that he would be donating a portion of his profits to the Animal Rescue League.
Seeing people give so freely of their riches is always encouraging, especially when it’s done to aid needy animals. Naturally, Paul intends to lavish himself and his family with money as well. He mentioned that he wants to get his wife a new car.
Paul received $2,600,000 as a one-time payment before taxes, according to the press release. The retailer from whence he purchased the fortunate scratch-off, Summit Variety, will also get a bonus of $40,000.
