It is said that when fate is kind, it does not take time to change fate overnight. Even the one who is dependent on every little thing becomes a millionaire in a moment. Something similar happened with a person named Jerry Hicks, a resident of North Carolina, America. When Jerry Hicks went to the car park, he found a 20 dollar note lying there, whose value is equal to Rs 1681 in Indian rupees. He started considering himself lucky, but little did Jerry Hicks know that that few rupee note would make him a millionaire. Taking that note, Jerry went to the nearby lottery shop and asked for the lottery number of his choice, but he did not get it. In such a situation, he returned home with another lottery ticket. But after a few days he came to know that he had won 10 lakh dollars (about Rs 8 crore 40 lakh).
Jerry Hicks, who works as a carpenter by profession, said that when I found a $20 note in the car park, I went straight to the lottery shop. Bought Extreme Cash Scratch-Off with that money. Hicks said that the ticket I actually wanted to buy was not in the lottery shop. In such a situation, I bought another scratch ticket and returned home. But later I came to know that I won 1 million dollars in the lottery. On October 25, the reward money was also given to this person. Jerry Hicks further said that I considered it appropriate to take the reward money in a lump sum instead of taking it in pieces over the next 20 years. If Hicks had taken this money for the next 20 years, he would have been paid Rs 8 crore 40 lakh. But because he took the money in lump sum, he got only 6 lakh dollars (about Rs 5 crore 4 lakh).
However, Jerry Hicks had to pay tax on this amount also. In this way, he was able to take only 4 lakh 29 thousand dollars (3 crore 60 lakh rupees) to his home. Hicks also made a plan for the use of this money. He said, “We will go straight to the Golden Corral and eat whatever is there. After this I will give some money to my children.” Also, this 56 year old carpenter has now planned to retire from his work. By the way, let us tell you that recently a person from Britain also got an amount of £ 500,000 (Rs 5 crore 45 lakh), that too when that lucky lottery winner had won the battle with kidney cancer. John Lingard, 66, scored a big win just 12 months after undergoing surgery to overcome cancer and is now celebrating his life with his health and wealth intact.
