Anyone among us has ever dreamed of winning the lottery to become a billionaire, living a prosperous life, but how many know what the afterlife of lottery winners is like?
The article below will provide the most accurate and complete answer for those who are curious about the outcomes of lottery winners.
The afterlife of lottery winners often ends in ruin
In Vietnam, there have been many people who won the lottery thanks to luck or fate, and the destiny of lottery winners later on receives a lot of attention.
Below are stories about the afterlife of those who were lucky enough to win prizes.
1/ Afterlife story 1: The motorbike taxi driver who won the lottery
Many years ago, Mr. P’s family in Vinh Long won 5 special lottery tickets.
He recounted that while he was waiting for customers as a motorbike taxi driver, a woman approached him with a stack of lottery tickets from Hau Giang, inviting him to buy.
After some hesitation, he decided to buy 5 lottery tickets for 50,000 VND, carefully putting them in his pocket before continuing to drive.
By the evening, still in his sweat-stained and dusty clothes, he took out the lottery tickets to check and discovered that all 5 of his tickets had won the special prize, totaling 7.5 billion VND.
An amount that he never dared to dream of seeing in his lifetime, let alone owning it.
After receiving the money, he deposited 5 billion VND in the bank, the rest he gave to his parents, siblings, and bought household items.
He also used some of the money to do charity work, helping those in his village and neighborhood who were in difficulty. Additionally, he invested that money in real estate.
After a while of investing, he faced difficulties and had to sell everything to pay off debts due to a lack of knowledge and being deceived.
The billions quickly vanished, and he returned to square one, still driving a motorbike taxi to make ends meet.
Life was already precarious, and winning the lottery brought a brief uplift before returning to the same old situation.
2/ Story 2: Life was on the rise, suddenly became a construction worker
In 2007, he won 36 lottery tickets with a prize of 4 billion VND. This amount, over 13 years ago, was certainly a huge sum.
After receiving the prize, Mr. H “leveled up” and began to step into the life of a millionaire, living in luxury.
He bought an SH motorcycle, which at that time was a very luxurious item. He kept buying this and that, having so much money that he didn’t want to work and just stayed home spending money.
During the day, he indulged in pleasure, and at night he went to nightclubs and bars to party. Now, when recounting, Mr. H admits he can’t remember how much money he burned through.
After a long time of not working and spending money recklessly at home, he soon became a debtor.
Starting to face hardship, with debts everywhere, he had to work as a construction laborer to make a living and pay off debts.
From a luxurious SH motorbike, he now rides a battered Dream bike. His current life relies on his bare hands through construction work.
3/ The third story: The fate of lottery winners who sell lottery tickets
The story of Mr. Giau from Ben Tre, whose difficult life in the countryside forced him to migrate to Dong Nai to sell lottery tickets. Every day he buys 50 tickets on credit from the lottery agent to sell.
Then one ordinary day, he woke up and went to the lottery agent to continue buying tickets on credit to sell.
Heavy rain like a flood prevented him from selling. He thought that his unsold tickets were as good as thrown away since no one would buy them.
Unexpectedly, in the evening when the results were announced, all 10 of his lottery tickets won the jackpot.
After receiving the prize, he bought household items, vehicles, and for relatives, but the remaining amount he didn’t know what to do with, he fell back into gambling.
He played until he ran out of money, with not a cent left. He returned to his impoverished life with a dilapidated house that couldn’t shelter him from the rain or sun.
