Illinois Lotto winner gives away prize to friend
Harold Collins, a 57 year old Caterpillar engine repairman from Pekin Illinois, won 23 million in the Illinois Lotto last August and is giving 20 annual installments totaling about 2.3 million to a woman he calls Kathy, an adopted daughter in Florida. He says the money is unnecessary for him and plans to let Kathy use it as she sees fit.
