Tragic story of a man originally from the town of Shaw Crescent, in the United Kingdom, named Andrew Gillon, who died unexpectedly and above all without knowing that he had achieved one of his greatest dreams: winning the lottery.
It turns out that Guillon had an unfortunate accident at a friend’s house on New Year’s Eve. The man fell down the stairs and hit his head hard, leaving him completely unconscious.
Immediately, they called the paramedics and they took him to a hospital, where the doctors determined that it was necessary to operate urgently because he had suffered a fractured neck. Unfortunately the 59 year old man did not survive the surgery.
Days after his death, one of his daughters named Lisa received an unexpected phone call notifying her that her father had been the lucky winner of a lottery jackpot equal to $9 million dollars in the Lottery of your zip code held in your community, as reported by the Daily Record.
“I found out that dad had won through his friend and neighbor. I thought that there was no way he could have done it, since he had blocked his bank account, so I assumed that no payments would have been taken”, indicated the young woman.
“My dad has played zip code lottery for as many years as I can remember. When I was confirmed, I was absolutely devastated at first. I could only hear the excited phone call from him telling me I had won and I know his first thought would be to book us all a vacation,” he added.
“There have been a lot of ‘signs’ since he left us and I’m sure he’s watching saying ‘I told you so’… All I remember him saying is, ‘well, you won’t laugh when I win!’ and I was right, I wasn’t laughing, I was crying,” Lisa said.
