Lottery Winner Donation

A Kalamazoo-area man who won $10,000 in the Michigan Lottery's Club Keno game has donated his winnings to charity. Soon after winning the money on March 11, Jim Dancy of Richland decided others needed it more than he did. So he gave it all to the Greater Kalamazoo United Way. Dancy says it was the right thing for him to do. Mike Larson is the charity's president and chief executive. He calls it an "incredible act of kindness and generosity" and says the donation couldn't have come at a better time. He says the economic downturn is making it tough on the agencies that the United Way serves.
