The winner of the Rs. 41,77,457 reward stated that he will set away his riches for his grandchild's savings account.
Another Maryland Lottery player won $50,000 thanks to recommendations from his grandma. "My grandmother told me that not everyone can be lucky every day," he says.
Based on this advice, he purchases two scratch-off tickets and continues to buy if one of them wins. If no ticket reaches the magic number, he stops purchasing for the day.
So far, he has earned more than $150,000 with this approach.
