Jubilant Anoop the auto driver from Kerala who won Rs.25 crore Onam lottery
One never knows when and where Lady Luck will smile on a person. Something similar happened to a Kerala auto rickshaw driver when he won the Rs.25 crore Onam lottery which he bought one day before the draw on Saturday!
Anoop is a native of Sreevaraham in Thiruvananthapuram and he purchased the ticket from Pazhavangadi from a city-based lottery agent Thankaraj of Bhagavathy Agency.
The first winner’s ticket number is TJ-750605 and he is expected to take home Rs.15.75 crores after tax deductions.
Anoop who was a chef before becoming an auto rickshaw driver was planning to move to Malaysia to work there in a food outlet. He even got a loan sanctioned for going there. Speaking to local channels he said that this was his first win in a bumper lottery and that earlier he had won Rs.5,000. He added that with a huge amount coming to him, he may cancel his trip to Malaysia.
The State Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal drew the lucky ticket on Sunday afternoon.
A total of 67 lakh Onam tickets were purchased at Rs.500 per ticket.
