An American resident invested 50% of his lottery winnings in Bitcoin and then became rich by $100 thousand

An amazing case of incredible luck recently occurred in the United States of America, namely Illinois. As it turned out, one of the local residents became the lucky owner of a super prize of 500 thousand dollars after winning money in a lottery. In May of this year, the guy decided to invest half of his winnings in such a popular digital asset as Bitcoin. In just 6 months, the first digital currency has grown incredibly in value, by as much as 65 percent.

A Reddit user under the nickname “joxnlol” posted a photo of himself that actually confirms the result of the lottery draw. By the way, he also added an interesting caption at the bottom:

“Got it. Then invested half of it in VTS in May. Remind me in 8 months,” joxnlol wrote.

By the way, Reddit also noted that after paying absolutely all tax fees, the amount of his winnings exceeded all his expectations. He received about 357 thousand dollars. The guy invested about 178 thousand dollars in his first digital asset. His income from the whole operation amounted to about 100 thousand.

In an interview with an American magazine, he said that he was not going to withdraw bitcoins from his account for about another year. Most people on the network noticed that joxnlol took a big risk by publishing the photo, tying it to his location.
