Teashop owner wins Rs 1 cr, takes it to be a April fool joke


Guruvayur: A teashop owner Ramakrishnan won Rs 1 crore lottery in the draw that was held on April 1. Ramakrishnan thought it to be a April fool prank and didn't believe it first. Ramakrishnan, 48, from Kanandassery Chittikattil won the Karunya lottery KX –193741.


He used to take lottery everyday. As usual he purchased the lottery ticket from vendor Ravi on Saturday. When Ravi informed about the prize money to Ramakrishnan on Sunday, he didn't believe him thinking to be a April fool joke. When he saw the same in the newspaper he was dumbstruck. He suddenly called his son Renjith working with HDFC bank. At first bank authorities also thought it to be a April fool joke.
