Formerly Homeless Man Wins The Lottery

BOISE, Idaho (March 5) — A 37-year-old Boise insurance agent who at one time lived in a homeless shelter has won $250,000 in the Idaho Lottery.
Anthony Castro won the money playing a scratch ticket that he bought at Jacksons Food Stores in Boise.

Castro says he has donated some of his winnings to his church, plans to set up a trust account for his daughter and will invest and bank the rest.
He is moving to Portland soon to start a new job.
Castro says he grew up in New York, survived a gunshot wound to the head at age 19 and moved to Idaho after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He lived in a homeless shelter for a time until he got on his feet financially.
