A preschool teacher won a Christmas lottery of $ 250,000 on Friday (about 204,000 euros) after being fired and losing his father to Covid-19 disease.
Joe Camp received the first prize of the Christmas scratch card drawing in the state of Santa Carolina, USA.

Camp, who is a father and grandfather, says he will use the money he won in the “Gold Rush” lottery to ensure the well-being of his family. Her plans include buying a new home that her grandchildren can inherit and paying for her daughter’s education.
I intend to use this money for my daughter to have a future.”Said the winner, highlighting the desire to build something so that the family has more stability in the coming years. “I never had anything. They never gave me anything, and that’s what I want to do. “
Joe’s luck came after a season of misfortune: in September he was fired from the pre-primary school where he worked, and the following month he lost his father who died after being infected with the new coronavirus.
I had a hard time, but I had friends and family who were there for me and who helped me through this most difficult period of my life.“says Joe.
