Kerala Onam Lottery: An autorickshaw driver becomes 'crorepati', wins Rs 25 crore

Kochi, Sep 18: A lottery ticket has changed the fortunes of an autorickshaw driver again in Kerala. On Sunday, the man, who had applied for a loan of Rs 3 lakh to go to Malaysia, became a 'crorepati' as his ticket won Rs 25 crore.

Anoop, from Sreevaraham, had purchased the winning ticket (TJ 750605) of Rs 25 crore Onam bumper lottery on Saturday. Interestingly, it was not his first choice and he had picked another ticket which has made him 'crorepati'.

On asking about the loan that he applied for his Malaysia trip, Anoop said that he does not need it anymore. "The bank called today regarding the loan and I said I don't need it anymore. I will not be going to Malaysia either," PTI quoted him as saying.

He has been buying lottery tickets for the last 22 years and has won amounts ranging from a few hundreds to a maximum of Rs 5,000 in the past, Anoop said. "I was not expecting to win and therefore, I was not watching the lottery results on TV. However, when I checked my phone, I saw that I had won. I could not believe it and showed it to my wife. She confirmed that it was the winning number," he said.

"But I was still tensed, so I called a lady I know who sells lottery tickets and sent her a picture of my ticket. She confirmed that it was the winning number," Anoop said. After all the deductions, Anoop will get Rs 15 crore.

When asked about what he plans to do with the winning amount, the ecstatic auto driver said that he wants to clear the loans and build a house. Besides that, Anoop said he would help out his relatives, do some charity work and start something in the hotel field in Kerala.

It may be recalled that last year's Onam bumper lottery, for Rs 12 crore, was also won by an auto-rickshaw driver. Jayapalan PR, an auto-rickshaw driver from Maradu near Kochi, won the lottery last year.

This year's second prize of Rs 5 crore will go to the owner of the ticket -- TG 270912.

In addition to that, 10 others have won a prize of Rs 1 crore each.
