As usual in the US, the company organizing the lottery in the state of Oregon presented the winner – 46-year-old Cheng Saephan – to the media on Monday. He beamed as he posed for photographers with a giant check.
The man has been suffering from cancer for eight years. He was undergoing chemotherapy just last week, said the father of two, who came to the United States in 1994. His prayers were said to have been heard. His family is now provided for, and he himself will be able to find a good doctor.
Ch. Saephan claims he had more than 20 tickets. After the lucky gamble, he immediately called his 55-year-old acquaintance, who added to the purchase of tickets. She was on her way to work and he informed her that she would no longer need to work. The husband will share the other half with his 37-year-old wife and, among other things, buy a house.

The trio decided to pay out the money immediately – after taxes, it will be 422 million. dollar amount. He does not know how long he has left to live, argued Ch. Saephan.
