Most of the time, we get t-shirts and other things as birthday gifts, we rarely get money and it never happens that we get something that exceeds the value of 100,000.
Well, that was not the case for a man in Australia.
A man from Australia was given a scratch-off lottery ticket by his girlfriend, and little did the man know that his ticket had something a lot waiting for him.
The ticket that he got had a jackpot of nearly $200,000.
The woman, who is from Doonside, New South Wales, said that she bought the ticket from the Doonside Newsagency & Post Office to give to her boyfriend as a birthday gift.
The couple went out for dinner and scratched it there.
The ticket was a winning ticket, but the couple did not realize that their luck was really big.
The ticket that they had helped them win $182,116.25.
The woman said that everything was unbelievable.
She added:
We didn’t believe it. We still don’t believe it. I just keep thinking ‘Oh, my God. Is this real life?’ It’s crazy. It’s still so surreal!
The couple said that they planned to put the winnings towards buying a bunch of cars.
They also want to use the money as a down payment on a house.
