For many, winning the lottery is synonymous with moments of celebration shared with the family, and it is common for parents to be among the first people to know that the prize has been won. But this is not the case a young man who won a prize of 100,000 pounds (more than 120,000 euros) and decided not to tell his mother anything, arguing that she didn’t even know she was participating in the draw.
According to information published in the British media ‘The Sun’, Joshua Logsdail, a young transport worker from Lincolnshire, England, was one of nine lucky residents of his community who celebrated the unexpected stroke of luck that changed their lives.
This was because they all won the ‘Zip Code Giveaway’, a contest in which participants must register with the zip code of their home, and for this reason It was his mother who gave him the winning number, since he lives at home.
He decided not to tell his mother that he had won the lottery
The young man, according to the aforementioned media, has recognized the crucial role of his mother in his good fortune, since it was she who provided him with a home within the winning zip code. “I am very happy and more than happy. The whole world opens up to me”
He confesses that, at first, he decided not to share the news with his mother. “I told my sister that they had called me to let me know that I had won, but I didn’t tell my mother. “She’ll be shocked when I tell her how much money I made,” he explained. Although this decision is not final, since Among the list of priorities he has for using money is sharing it with his mother and the rest of his family.
“Taking care of my mother is the most important thing. “I am a family man and family is always the most important thing to me,”signed. One of the first things you intend to do with the money is increase your budget for Christmas gifts, “I have a budget for each person, although now I could spend a little more.”
After years living in his mother’s house, this award is a great opportunity for Joshua, since the young man sees it as a springboard to achieve goals that until now seemed unattainable, such as buying your own house.
Another of his goals is to learn to drive and buy his first car. Thinking about his family, especially his nephews and nieces, Joshua has already started researching vehicle options. “I have already looked at a Skoda Fabia, but it can’t be too fast because I need something practical for my nephews and nieces,” He detailed, showing his most familiar side.
