Being left by her husband, cheated on with her best friend and risking losing her home: a sad story suddenly turns into a revenge in which fate has a hand. The woman, originally from Colombia, played the national lottery and won the double jackpot.
The anonymous player, from Barranquilla, won 268,000 Colombian pesos from two lottery tickets which solved her financial problems. In the midst of the celebrations, the woman received a “particularly strange” call from her ex-partner. The man had decided to congratulate her on her victory. But the woman did not use very sweet words towards her according to Colombian news channels.
The woman was about to lose her house when she decided to buy «Supergiros» lottery tickets to try and get the double jackpot (which is considered almost impossible). She yet she had the winning 8628 lottery ticket.
While not publishing her name, local broadcaster Zona Zero said the woman is a seamstress and was on the verge of losing her home because she couldn’t afford to pay the mortgage. And her daughter could not enroll in the last semester of university due to lack of money.
As a last resort, she bought the ticket on January 17: the year her husband left her for his best friend and the moment she got into financial trouble.
The woman trembled when she found out she had won the huge amount of money, one of the biggest jackpots ever claimed in the South American country – where the average monthly salary is 800 pesos.
