September 17th was the day that everything changed for Anoop. This dad who lives in south India had the winning ticket for the Loto that day: he pocketed 3.2 million euros. A stroke of luck in his home country, good enough that this professional driver had to go to Malaysia to treat his sick son.

A real nightmare for Anoop and his family, especially since the latter has not received any money. “No one seems to understand it, even though I’m just repeating it…”
