Russian Pensioner Wins 5 Million Rubles by Clicking an Ad
A retired woman from St. Petersburg accidentally clicked on a lottery advertisement while playing a game on her phone and won the grand prize of 5 million rubles.
In Russia, Elena, a retiree living in St. Petersburg, accidentally clicked on a lottery advertisement that popped up on her screen while playing a game on her phone on an ordinary day. This spontaneous action won her a super prize worth 5 million rubles.
The press service of the National Lottery operator, organized by the Russian Ministry of Finance, shared the winner's story. According to the company's statement, Elena said that when she saw the advertisement for the "Big 8" lottery that day, she normally closes such ads, but that time she accidentally clicked on the "play" offer.
The winning woman decided not to cancel the transaction and purchased the first ticket that appeared with a random number combination. This instant choice brought her the grand prize.
A Longtime Acquaintance with Lotteries
Elena's relationship with lotteries is not new. She had previously worked at a branch of Russian Post and witnessed the period when the National Lottery brand began offering games there.
According to the winner, the ironic aspect of the situation is that the big victory came at a moment when she had not planned to play. Elena had previously participated in draws regularly and always hoped for luck, but she won the super prize after randomly clicking on an ad banner.
Plans for the Prize Money
Elena plans to direct the money she won toward important goals for her family. These plans include making home renovations, addressing health matters, and buying a gift for her only daughter's wedding.
State lotteries in Russia operate under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance and are organized under the "National Lottery" brand. Such big win stories keep interest in lottery games alive in the country.
