Four homeless people in the French port city of Brest won 50,000 euros (almost 1.4 million crowns) thanks to a donated scratch card for one euro. He was given to young homeless people by a customer of a newsagent, in front of which they begged.
During the visit to the lottery company’s branch, the lucky winners stated that they would share the prize equally, so that each person would receive an amount of EUR 12,500. According to local media, there are three men and one woman, but the lottery company Française des Jeux has not officially confirmed this.
“They don’t know how to deal with such a large sum, but they can bring them to a new life anyway,” the company wrote. “They were overjoyed, it will help them start over,” AFP quoted the news owner as saying.
According to the drug dealer, his customers usually give homeless people a coin, a cigarette or a lottery ticket. It is rumored in the store that a happy lot was given to a homeless by a customer. However, her identity is unknown.
