The 62-year-old Scotland veteran David Krauder won 1.02 million pounds ($ 1.35 million) after the purchase of three lottery tickets. However, a person ignored the message about his victory. He could not believe in victory and was convinced that he wanted to deceive scammers.
According to the sun, out of his caution, a person almost missed a message about victory. “They called me, and I decided to ignore it because I thought it was fraud,” Krauder said.
Nevertheless, he later decided to check the phone number from which he was called online. Seeing that it was a gambling company, Krauder thought that he had forgotten to pay for tickets, and they wanted to remind him.
When the man called back, he was informed that he had won the jackpot. However, the number of victories was not announced, and the crowd did not indicate the data. According to the winner, he thought that the maximum could get 15 thousand pounds (19.9 thousand dollars) – 5 thousand for each ticket purchased.
Until the end, not believing that they were not fraudulent, the person went to bed. The next morning, he knocked on the door, and when he opened the crowd, he saw a few cameras. “They asked me if I wanted to know how much I won, and I handed over the first sheet of paper,” I saw that I won 340,000 pounds (451 thousand dollars), ”Krauder said.
Even then it was shocked, but the story did not end there. After the first check, he was given two more – everyone for the same. “I don’t know how I feel. I am a little stunned. I thought that 15 thousand, and even 5,000 pounds, it is a lot! ” – He shared his impressions of the winner.
After the victory, Krauder planned a trip to Australia and bought a new car. “I have relatives in Australia, whom I have not seen for many years … I have a cousin there, and I have not seen her since she was a child. I will take the place of representative class on the plane! I could never do this, and now there is a veteran.
Croud also plans to take three friends to the United States where the Masters golf tournament is held. And the rest of the money, he said, will go to the aid of their daughter and son.
“I have a son, daughter and two grandchildren. They will benefit from this. I will share this with my family, because this is what I always did. It absolutely changes life, changes the life of generations, ”the winner summed up.
Earlier, OBOZ.ua told how the Canadian lost a wallet with a happy lottery ticket, with which he won 1 million Canadian dollars (about $ 700,000). He could get rid of the ticket, if not for the “good Samaritan” who found his wallet and returned to its owner.
