Tyrone Curry – He Gave His Track Team Their Biggest Win of All
Tyrone Curry is a typical guy – he works as a school janitor, and after school he coaches the school’s track team. In one way though, Tyrone is not typical. You see, he is a millionaire, having won over $3 million in a state lottery. So Tyrone doesn’t have to work, but he does it anyway, because he loves working with the kids at his school. And when Tyrone won his millions, he showed just how much he really does love the kids at his school – he bought them a new track! This video tells Tyrone’s amazing story.
