Perfect timing to win
February 5, 2009, 8:49 am (2 years ago)A most fortunate German lottery player previously lost his job because of the economic slump but that turned out to be very a small incident for him after winning $35 million on the Toto-Lotto Lower Saxony lottery.
Single 40-year-old explained about his winning: "It took my breath away. Now I am able to take my time looking for a new position and don't have to just take any odd job that presents itself."
The lottery firm stated it would provide the winner with suggestions on how best to use and invest his fortune.
The jackpot was holding $54 million last week, the 3rd biggest ever, attracting millions of customers such as Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck. But the 2nd holder of a lucky ticket, a resident of Bavaria, has yet to come forward to claim his winnings, Toto-Lotto said.
