Millionaire Janitor

30,878 views
Tyrone Curry won over $3.4 million dollars in the Washington State lottery 5 years ago and still spends his days sweeping the cafeteria floor at Evergreen High School. 'I try to make sure it's spotless and it's ready for the kids,' he says, with a smile on his face. After cleaning, he goes off to his second job - coaching the track and field team. "Ten years ago, I said if I win some money, I'm going to put a track here," Tyrone said, and that's exactly what he did when he recently gave his boss a check for $40,000. :)

A dollar might mean very different things to different people. A small contribution by you to a charitable cause could change someone else's life forever!

Christine Mccaughtry
you don't have to be selfish and money can't change you and you always give thanks to God

Seems he gained more humility, not an ounce of arrogance, because of his windfall gains.
Betsy
Wow, how to use your money and time wisely...
Mark
What a "Wonderful World it Could Be" if we were all more like Tyrone...
Laurel
The coach is so clear about his values and what is important and he kept those in the front of his life even with $3.4 million to tempt him otherwise.
Kiko
That even in our greedy world today, money doesn't necessarily have to change a person.
M.Prakash
Deeply rooted to the ground. Simplistic. A true Christian
M. Alba
I am moved by his humility, vision, and sacrifice.
Arkesh
This is a prime example of a truly selfless person. Well done my man :) You're a valued member of society.

What a magnificent example of humility and generosity. How many kids and adults will be touched by Mr. Curry's kindness?
Srikanth V
Some people have such a clear life compass. No greed, no unreasonable wants, just a good head above their shoulders and a heart in the right place.
Shirley Marsh
A wonderful, generous human being. I have no criticism or comment other than he is doing a wonderful thing, and who are we to impose our ideas on his actions and say he should do it differently? Just be grateful there are people like him in this world, and pray there are more in the wings.
