OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma couple who won millions playing Powerball has donated part of their winnings to help children.

Don and Joyce Harvey are starting a charitable foundation and project with OU Medical Center.

The Harveys and OU Medical Center are establishing a mobile research unit that will study the root causes of obesity and diabetes in Oklahoma children.

"We're trying to get it where they don't have to deal with this stuff. We want to have it where we understand it and hopefully for a cure is what I'm hoping," Joyce Harvey said.

Don and Joyce have spent some of their $33 millions on themselves. Don now drives an RV instead of a truck.
