In the most surprising and unexpected day, a 40-year-old man won a lottery prize of Rs 70 lakh, hours after the bank issued an attachment notice.
The fortune was received to Pookunju, a resident of Edavanassery at Mynagappally. He won the first prize of the Akshaya lottery.
Pookunju earns a living by selling fish in the northern Mynagapally area and was facing financial troubles. He had taken a loan of Rs 9 lakh from the bank for the construction of his house.
When he reached home, Pookunju was shocked to learn that there was a loan recovery notice waiting for him.
Pookunju who was left heartbroken at the prospect of losing his house got another pleasant surprise just hours later when his brother called to inform him that he is the winner of the Akshaya AK 570 lottery.
