A Kumasi-based labourer, Abubakari Adamu, out of sheer ecstasy collapsed after winning 75 million cedis from the DNL 5/39 Fortune, a national lottery.

Adamu won five numbers with a 1,000 cedis worth of coupon. He was the second person in the Ashanti Region to have won part of the mega prize of 150 million cedis.

Adamu, 30, was later revived by his friends and rushed to the offices of the 5/39 Fortune where his coupon was confirmed. The dumbfounded Adamu could not control his tears as he sang praises to Allah for turning his life around. Adamu was said to have been unemployed for two years. Later in an interview, he thanked Allah for winning the lottery, which will make life better for him and his family.
