News from all over - Toronto
A Toronto butcher shop manager who won a $14.5-million lottery prize last week is making good on his promise to share his wealth. Jose Lima, known as "Joe the butcher" to the hundreds of customers he has served for 22 years, gave away free four-kilogram bags of chicken legs to his patrons on Thursday.
Some 800 residents received their free chicken by lunchtime and another 450 were still in line. Lima ordered almost 27,000 kilograms of chicken legs, and placed an extra order to make sure none of his customers would be walking away empty handed. The price tag was $30,000.
"For so many years I've been buying meat here, so it's very nice of him," said one happy elderly man.
"A million dollars is a lot of money. Fourteen million dollars is 14 times lots of money," Lima said with a large smile. He still hasn't decided on how to spend his millions, but plans on taking a vacation. He says he has no intentions of quitting his job.
