Award winning photo According to foreign media reports, James Leonard, a retired old man from the United States, recently won a prize of 4 million US dollars (about 28.79 million yuan) with 50 US dollars. Leonard smiled when he received the winning cheque at the prize cashing scene and accepted a photo, saying that he had never expected to win the prize.
James Leonard, who lives in Massachusetts, USA, usually likes to buy lottery to pass the time. On the day of winning the lottery, when he went to a local Sam's food store to check out, he saw a dazzling array of scratch lottery tickets and bought five diamond scratch card lottery tickets on a whim. When Leonard scraped the fifth picture, he found that he had won a prize of 4 million dollars. He was so excited that he shouted, and then went to the lottery agency to redeem the prize.
Remembering the scene of winning the lottery in the food store, Leonard said excitedly that he had never expected to win the lottery. In the past, he basically won small prizes when buying lottery tickets. Now, when trying his luck with scratch cards, he was surprised. He felt that happiness had come too suddenly.
According to the relevant cashing requirements of Massachusetts, the whole bonus can be cashed out at one time, or you can choose to receive 200000 dollars every year in 20 years. In the end, Leonard chose to receive a full bonus at one time, and the pre tax bonus reached 2.6 million dollars (about 18.71 million yuan).
At the awarding scene, when asked by the staff how to use this unexpected fortune, Leonard planned to save the prize money first, and in the future, he would take his family to travel and enjoy his favorite retirement life.
(Lucky star)
