LUBEC (AP) – A Lubec man who won last weekend’s nearly $10 million Tri-State Megabucks lottery says the winnings are going to his twin sons’ college educations.
Sixty-two-year-old Larry Burns moved to Lubec in 2006 from Connecticut after his retirement as a boiler operator. He moved to be closer to his 18-year-old sons, Timothy and Douglas, who have lived with Burns’ former wife since the couple’s divorce in 1994.
Burns said it looked “iffy” that his sons could attend college without a lot of debt. But with the money from the $9.8 million jackpot, Burns says he plans to see them through to their graduation.
He added that he might even go to college himself. When he was younger, he took some courses at the University of Hawaii, but he never finished.
