Big winners in the Missouri Lottery don’t often say they intend to give away all of the money they won.
But that’s what happened this week when Nancy Mathison and her fiancé, Eric Renzelmann, said they intended to give all of their $20,000 winnings to the owner of a Fulton production company where both of the winners work.
Both of them said they wanted to hand over the money to help their job security at the Fulton firm. They did not want to disclose the name of the business where they worked, because they believed the business was having financial problems.

Wow how many people say they would give the money away if they won it but wouldnt if they did. . Eric and Nancy thank you so much for the example of selflessness you have shown.here today. Many folks talk about how they would like to help others but are not willing to sacrifice to make it happen. If more of us would act like you when others need help life may have more blessings for all involved than we could possably imagin. May God continue to bless you guys.
