A 57-year-old American has won $ 45,000 in the Loto draw but he will not be able to take advantage of his winnings: he drowned with the winning ticket in his pocket.
A lucky Loto winner had a tragic end a few days ago in the United States. Gregory Jarvis, a 57-year-old man, regularly plays The Jack game, a local Loto, in a bar in Caseville, near Lake Huron, in the state of Michigan in the United States. On September 13, he won $ 45,000, or approximately € 38,000.
To celebrate the good news, he pays his rounds in the bar. When collecting her winnings, the employee asks her for her ID and a social security card as is the rule in Michigan for any winnings over $ 600. Except that Gregory Jarvis’ social security card is no longer up to date. He therefore began to take steps to redo a new card.
“He’s a very good guy, he was there every day,” the owner of the bar testified to the New-York Post. When he won he was “super excited”.
Without news of his client, the owner of the bar is worried. It was then in Canada, in Ontario, a body was discovered on a pond. Rescuers quickly identify Gregory Jarvis. According to the first elements of the investigation, while trying to hang up his boat, his head hit the pontoon and he fell, unconscious, into the water. Gregory Jarvis always had his winning ticket in his pocket.
His family was finally able to collect the $ 45,000 but remains in sorrow after Gregory’s death.
