How winning the lottery changed your life

Some people believe that winning the lottery is quite rare. In fact, this is not the case. Some people take part in lotteries throughout their lives. But they don’t manage to win anything. Others are immediately lucky. But wealth is far from always able to lead to something good.

A dream that came true

Some people buy lottery tickets in packs. They try to figure out the combinations that will win. Others prefer to just put numbers in at random. Ilya Matveyev from Moscow saw the winning numbers in a dream. He did not think that he would become rich. He put the numbers he had dreamed into a ticket and managed to win 9237768 roubles.

Curiously enough, the man used to buy tickets from time to time. But he was not lucky. Ilya was no longer hoping for luck. He decided that this would be his last ticket. And so it was.

Failed to guess and won

The resident of Magadan didn’t bother at all. He marked all the numbers wrong and became a millionaire. The lucky man bought a ticket for 60 rubles. It was required to mark 12 numbers. According to the rules, the super-prize goes to the one who ticks all the numbers correctly or does not tick any. The Magadan man won 2300000 roubles.

The lottery ruined his life

Winning may well bode ill fortune. That’s exactly what happened to a resident of Scotland named Jane Park. She won a million pounds sterling. But that money led to the “ruin” of her life.

For four years, this girl dressed in the best brands’ clothes and vacationed in rich resorts. But then she got bored of it all. She simply got tired of loafing around and wanted to get a job again.

The family fell apart

A couple in Thailand had a simple falling out. Pornthida Chamnanvet bought a lottery ticket with her husband. They managed to win approximately 12 million in ruble terms. The family decided to split the winnings in half.

But then the young man realised that he was not happy with 50% at all. He put forward a demand to his wife to return the money. But the girl did not agree. A scandal broke out. The spouse did not swear, but simply ran away with the lucky ticket. The girl went to the police. But the guy avoided arrest as he preferred to return to his soulmate.

Anxiety that led to a headache

Jamaicans who win the lottery are afraid of revealing their identity. It’s almost like being a target in a shooting gallery. Relatives and friends who need help are likely to turn up. Robbery is also likely. In Jamaica, lotteries have been held regularly since 2009. In that time, there have been only four winners. They took their winnings by changing their appearance. But the latest lucky winner surprised everyone.

He turned up to the ceremony wearing a mask and a cape, just like in the famous film Scream. He managed to win 1580000 Jamaican dollars. The winner’s name is Campbell.

When he found out he had won, he simply fell ill. He was worried about how to take the money he had won so that nothing would threaten his life. This led to him getting headaches. He made a decision to come dressed as a character from the film so that no one would recognise him.
