One winner from Wisconsin is dedicated to improving the lives of others with his winnings. According to WFLD, the man won $768 million from the Powerball lottery. During a conference, Franco said that winning the lottery feels like a dream.

When Nicole Domitro was approached by Franco in the store, she was skeptical. Franco was walking around the store with his friend trying to give a lucky shopper a Target gift card worth $200.

Even though the two kind souls didn't want anything in return, they were having a difficult time finding somebody willing to accept their gift. Domitro admitted that she was unsure as the two strangers approached her in the middle of the store. Franco excused himself and admitted how awkward the conversation may sound.

He mentioned that he was the lottery winner and wanted to offer her a gift card to the store. Domitro let down her guard, accepted the gift, and even took a picture with Franco.

After the chance encounter, Domitro posted her experience on Facebook. In her post, she discussed how there are kind and selfless people in the world despite the ugliness and pain that many people see. Franco was one such light shining brightly in a world that is shrouded in darkness and deceit.

Domitro didn't end up spending the gift card that day. Instead, she returned home still in disbelief at Franco's kindness. She told her husband, and she double-checked with the store to ensure that the card was legitimate. After talking with some customer representatives, she learned that there was exactly $200 on the card.

While many people would have spent the money right away, Domitro immediately thought of other families who may be in greater need of the gift. This is proof how one selfless act can lead to another. Because of Franco's kindness, Domitro decided to pay it forward as well.
