Sidney Osahon, 35, Engineer from Edo, who won the ‘Give ‘n’ Take N20 million’ National Jackpot Bonanza said, his landlady almost ejected his family hours before he won the lottery.
Mr. Osahon, who disclosed this at a news
briefing organised by Give `n` Take National Lottery in Abuja, said he was
threatened by his landlady on his way to claim the prize.
He said that his family was being threatened by
his landlady before he received the call that changed his life.
He said, “My mother is still alive, my father
passed on last year. So we couldn’t pay our rent and we were almost thrown out
of our house.
“My landlady gave us quit notice. As I was
coming out to claim my prize she sent a text message that she will soon be at
the house to give me a show down.
Mr. Osahon revealed that he had been playing
the Give `n` take National lottery from the beginning in June 2017, but just
got lucky now.
“Last week Sunday while watching the jackpot,
and I saw my ticket number, I was in tears, I told God that I was tired of
embarrassment of rent and I am moving into my house.
“The interesting thing about this win is that
there was another bonanza draw the first one, I did not win. But the person who
won apparently did not show up to pick his ticket.
“What this means is that if the person had
showed up, I wouldn’t have been the winner, but God just got it for me. Today I
am twenty million naira richer.
“The whole thing is like a dream but I am living that dream.
I say a big thank you to Give ‘n’ Take national lottery; they have changed my
life for good. Now I am a landlord,” he said.
