After all the tax deductions, the 10% that Holmes promised to the church still ended up being close to $1.5 million! That money would go a long way in the hands of the church and the people of Shallotte, North Carolina. And while that number barely dents her winnings, it is still one of the highest contributions ever made to the Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church.
Even though lottery winners in the past have donated money to churches, it came nowhere close to Holmes’ generous donation. For instance, a Boston lotto winner donated $100,000 to a church for a one-of-a-kind Christmas dinner a while back. However, Holmes’ contribution still remains one of the largest to a single church, ever.
