登上人生巔峯! 國外一木匠買彩票中2.45億大獎!

Guyanese carpenter Nandlall Mangal has won US$245.6 million in the Powerball game in New York.

近日，圭亞那木匠南德拉爾·曼格爾在紐約買的一張“強力球”彩票，竟中了2.456億美元的大獎。

According to the New York Post, Mangal said "I'm sure my life is gonna change a lot".

據《紐約郵報》報道，曼格爾說：“我確信我的生活要發生巨大的變化了。”

"It's a lot of money," Mangal added. "I have no idea what's going to happen," aside from a trip to Hawaii that he says he will take.

曼格爾還表示：“這是很大一筆錢。我還沒想好接下來要做什麼。”除了他說自己要去夏威夷旅遊。

The report said that Mangal, 42, bought a US$6 Quick Pick ticket on Aug. 11 while purchasing groceries at the Stop & Shop supermarket on Hylan Boulevard.

報道中指出，8月11日，42歲的曼格爾在海蘭大道Stop & Shop店購買雜貨時，順手買了一張6美元的隨機選取彩票。

The carpenter who lives with his wife in a humble ranch home in New Dorp, remembers putting away his groceries and tossing aside the ticket.

這位木匠和他的妻子住在紐多爾普的一個簡陋牧場裏，他只記得把買回的雜貨放好，彩票則丟到了一邊。

He said he didn't learn he was filthy rich for days, after he heard no one had claimed the winnings and he figured he should look at his ticket.

他表示，他一直不知道自己居然暴富了，聽說沒人領獎後，他纔想起來應該看看自己的彩票。

"I really don't check the ticket that often," Mangal said of the few times he has bought one, generally when the jackpot goes north of (US) $100 million.

曼格爾稱他只買過幾次彩票，通常都是在獎金過億時。“我真的很少去對中獎號碼。”
