Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleConnolly believes it is part of human nature to help others (PA)National Lottery winner Frances Connolly, who won £115 million with her husband Paddy in 2019, has revealed that the couple have given away approximately half of their jackpot to charitable causes. To celebrate Frances turning 60, seven athletes supported by her PFC Trust in North East England are undertaking a 60-mile running, swimming, and cycling challenge that will conclude with the Great North Run. The former social worker and teacher from Northern Ireland cited country music icon Dolly Parton as an “inspiration” for her philanthropy, explaining that sharing is simply part of human nature once a person has enough. Despite their immense wealth, the couple continue to live a value-conscious lifestyle by purchasing second-hand items and focusing on ensuring their children have comfortable lives while helping others. The PFC Trust has used its funding to support numerous community initiatives, including respite caravans for young carers, digital projects for the elderly, emergency food deliveries, and defibrillators for local sports clubs. doIn fullLottery winner hails Dolly Parton as an ‘inspiration’ after giving away half of her £115m fortuneMore bulletinsThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
