Big wins in other countries

  • Juan Rodriguez - divorced millionaire

In 2004, Colombian immigrant Juan Rodriguez, who lived in the United States, won an astronomical sum of $ 149 million in the lottery. Before the big win, he worked as a security guard in the parking lot and barely made ends meet. After Juan got her winnings of $ 59 million (the remaining amount was eaten by taxes and other payments), his wife Iris filed for divorce, deciding that half of the winnings she would get when she divorced was the maximum that she could get from of this relationship. When his wife left, Juan realized that if he did not turn to specialists, the remaining money would evaporate as quickly as his wife. Therefore, he began to attend special courses, where he was taught to deny freeloaders.

  • Carey Collins - two wins in one day

An employee of the Boeing plant ran his car and decided to buy an instant lottery ticket. When he erased the protective layer, he learned that thanks to the ticket he won $ 55.5 thousand. Carey decided that such an event must be celebrated, bought a big pizza and three more lottery tickets. It so happened that one of them brought a lucky 200 thousand more dollars.

  • Rosemary Obiakor - Noble lottery winner

A resident of Nigeria, Rosemary Obiakor, gave all the winnings to the first beggar woman. In 2009, the woman won a not so large amount by the standards of other countries - a little more than 15 thousand euros. However, in Nigeria, wherein 2013 the average salary was $ 62, you can get a good idea for that amount. But Rosemary found another way out. During the money presentation ceremony, the woman stated that she would give the entire amount to the first oncoming person to the beggar because she had heard stories of people who won a lot of money, immediately accepted them to spend and nothing good happened to them later. The woman kept her word - she cashed a check and gave the money to a beggar woman sitting nearby with a small child in her arms.
