The husband came up with a certain order of numbers and believed that he would make him rich. The wife did not understand why this particular combination, but listened to her husband. And for good reason: 20 years later, the cipher made it richer by 1 million dollars.
Some inherit old paintings and broken teapots from dead relatives, which eventually bring their owners fortunes. But the resident of Australia inherited from her husband just a set of numbers. And if you think that she was less fortunate, then you are very mistaken.
An elderly Australian modestly celebrates an important event in her life with a cup of tea and toast. Seeing her, hardly anyone could believe that she was celebrating her sudden wealth like that. The lucky woman became a millionaire, but just a week ago she could not imagine that her life would turn around sharply, writes The Lott.
The woman started playing the lottery 20 years ago after adopting the habit from her late husband. He loved the lottery and always bet on the same combination of numbers. Until now, the widow does not understand why her husband used this particular set: 31, 38, 42, 13, 5 and 9.
My late husband chose these numbers many years ago. I don’t know why exactly them, but since then we have only played them, ”recalls the woman.
Even after the death of her husband, she continued to bet only on these numbers every week.
I always thought that one day they will bring a big win, says the woman.
On the last day of November, the Australian, as usual, went to the kiosk for a newspaper, and at the same time decided to check her lottery ticket. Then she found out that she had become rich. The amount of her winnings was one million Australian dollars.
This isn’t a joke, is it? You have no idea how happy my family will be! the winner shouted then, having learned the number of her winnings.
The woman recalls how she could not believe in her luck and simply ran as if stung from one side to the other.
I just ran all morning. Then she remembered that she had not even had breakfast, and went for a cup of tea and toast. I may want something stronger later, but for now I just need to sit down and immerse myself in what happened, ”the woman says.
According to the winner, she knows what she wants to spend her money on. The generous grandmother plans to help her children and also renovate the house.
Like everyone else, we’ve had a rough year and this will help us all get back on our feet. I have two sons with their families, whom I can now help! I will also buy a new fence for my house, the millionaire reflects.
The woman is sure that her late husband is also happy for her, because his fictional set of numbers could make the family happy even after his death.
I think he is very happy and looks down on us from heaven! says the winner.
