An Australian who worked as a cleaner and lost his job in the corona lockdown was incredibly lucky: He won 80 million Australian dollars in the lottery.
The odds of winning the lottery in an Australian Powerball lottery draw were 1 in 134 million. A man from Melbourne was very, very lucky: He was that one person who hit the $ 80 million lottery jackpot – the third largest lottery prize in Australian history. The “Daily Mail”, which apparently spoke to the lottery company about the winner, reported a few details.
The middle-aged family man, who would rather remain anonymous, lost his job during a corona lockdown. Like so many people, he was not prepared for the Covid-19 pandemic and several lockdowns. He had just bought a house for himself and his family and had outstanding bills to pay. So he finally got hired as a cleaner in order to be able to finance everything somehow. Then what happened, what few expect in such a situation: He was lucky in misfortune.
The newly minted millionaire remains humble
On Thursday he got the news that he had won the Powerball lottery. He describes to the lottery company how he experienced the moment: “I was so excited that I first had to check my lottery ticket. After that, I couldn’t even think of sleep.” The newly minted millionaire remains humble for the time being and even reveals a few details about what he wants to do with the money he has won: “I am very interested in settling the mortgage and other outstanding bills first. We secure the future of our children financially . That’s the greatest thing we can do. There’s so much we can do with the money we win. It will change a lot of people’s lives. ”
