DANBURY, Conn. — 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 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.
On Friday, his widow cashed in one of the tickets: a $10 million winner that, in her grief over her husband’s death, she had put aside and almost discarded before recently checking the numbers.
