Vincennes Couple are Lucky for Life

A Vincennes couple feel lucky for life after winning a top prize on the Hoosier Lottery's Lucky for Life Scratch-off.  Dwight Foote and his wife Nichole will receive $1,000 a week for the next fifty years.  That adds up to $2.5 million. With five daughters ranging in age from nine to fifteen, crammed into a two-bedroom house, the first thing they plan to do is build a new house. Their second order of business will be to start college funds for their daughters. What does a guaranteed annual extra income of $50,000 feel like to a carpenter and a stay-at-home mom?  "It's overwhelming," said Dwight Foote. "We're having trouble thinking that big yet."
