A man from Ukraine, who had to escape the war and seek refuge in Belgium, has won an astounding amount of €500,000 on a scratch card. Little is known about the man as it is the policy of the Belgian National Lottery to keep the identity of the winner undisclosed.
He bought the scratch card for a mere €5 last month in a gas station in Belgium, where he has been living for the past year. Joke Vermoere, spokesperson for the National Lottery, revealed that he is between the ages of 18 to 24.
Vermoere further added that the man has “mixed feelings” about his win, due to the inevitable war back home. “It is a difficult period to be happy with everything happening in his home.” She shared that the winner wishes to host a party with the money to thank all those who have helped him integrate in Belgium.
Moreover, he desires to contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine, once the war ends. However, he has yet to share any concrete plans in this regard. Vermoere also mentioned that the man is content in Belgium and has found work, but he would like to return to Ukraine as soon as possible.
