Editor’s note: Instead of our usual top-stories countdown this year, we decided to take a look at who had an outstanding 2015, whether through accomplishments or good fortune. For these groups and individuals, 2015 was a winning year. We hope you have enjoyed this five-part series to close the year. To complete the look back, we revisit some very lucky people – lottery winners.
