A New High School Stadium in Iowa Funded by Lottery Winners

You must still remember the winners of Powerball jackpot worth $202 million in Iowa three months ago. The winners of the big prize, Mary and Brian Lohse keeps doing many great things to help others and the most recent thing that they have done is helping a school build a new sport stadium. To make this stadium ready, Mary and Brian shared $3 million from their windfall.

On Monday, the school, The Bondurant-Farrar received the money from the couple and they will start the construction soon. Hopefully, the stadium will all be completed before fall in 2014. Mary jokingly required that the lockers and the rooms in the stadium should be painted pink and it seems that the school will do it. She visited the University of Iowa to do similar donating from lottery winning and got the inspiration from there.

Though Mary wants the rooms to be painted pink, she and her husband do not want the stadium to be named after her or her husband’s name. They do not want to make the stadium seem exclusive for them as they want others to contribute for it too.
