@abc2020: In 2006, Abraham Shakespeare won the $30 million Florida Lottery – ultimately walking away with a $17 million lump sum. But before winning the jackpot, he lived in the modest neighborhood of Lakeland, Florida, picking up odd jobs like riding garbage trucks and sweeping up at a local barbershop. His friends remembered him as a humble, gentle giant. The new #ABC2020 with reporting by Matt Gutman – ‘Unlucky Numbers’ – airs Friday (April 18) at 9/8c on ABC. And stream the next day on Hulu.
