In a surprising twist of fate, a man who was recently divorced by his wife due to financial hardship has struck it rich—winning a staggering 273 million lottery jackpot just a day after their separation was finalized.
According to local reports, the couple had been struggling financially for several years.
The strain reportedly took a toll on their relationship, ultimately leading the wife to file for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences and ongoing money problems.
Friends close to the man revealed that he had continued playing the lottery regularly, hoping that one day his luck would change.

That day came sooner than expected, and with life-changing consequences.
Just 24 hours after his divorce was made official, he discovered that he had won one of the largest jackpots in the state’s history.
Sources say the man, who has chosen to remain anonymous for now, was both stunned and emotional upon learning of his winnings. When asked by reporters how he felt, he said, “I’m still trying to process everything. It’s a mix of disbelief, relief, and irony.”
While legal experts suggest that the timing of the win—occurring after the divorce—means the ex-wife may not be entitled to any share of the winnings, the situation has sparked heated online debate.
The story has since gone viral on social media, with many calling it a case of “instant karma” or “divine timing.”
Others are speculating whether the ex-wife regrets her decision, while some have applauded the man for remaining calm and composed throughout the ordeal.
