流浪漢買彩票中1720萬大獎 暴富后救助他人

László Andraschek, of Hungary, was on his way to a workshop for recovering alcoholics back in September, when he decided to spend his last coins on a lottery ticket, the Guardian reports. Expecting the same bad luck and disappointment that had befallen him his whole life, he was shocked to discover he won the equivalent of about $2.8 million.

去年9月份，匈牙利流浪漢安德拉謝克在前往布達佩斯參加戒酒工作坊的途中，用身上僅有的數枚硬幣在車站買了一張彩票。原本因人生中充滿的霉運和沮喪而不報希望的他，竟發(fā)現自己中了279萬美元(約合人民幣1720萬元)的頭獎。

“I had only picked six numbers and the female shop assistant reminded me that I needed to pick a seventh,” Andraschek told The Guardian. “I told her to make it 24 – it doesn't matter, anyway.”

安德拉謝克告訴《衛(wèi)報》說：“我只選了6個數字，店員叫我再選一個，我告訴她我選24——反正也沒什么關系。”

The 55-year-old has decided to use his good fortune responsibly -- and for a good cause, the outlet notes. In fact, Andraschek’s big win went unnoticed until he made a bigdonation to a hostel for the homeless in February. He also plans to open a foundation for addicts and women who have been abused.

55歲的安德拉謝克決定對這筆幸運的獎金負起責任——出于善心，他決定把獎金捐獻出去。事實上，安德拉謝克中獎的消息沒有公開，直到2月份的時候，他給一個流浪漢中心捐了一筆不小的捐款時，他的秘密才大白于天下。他甚至還打算建立一個基金，用來幫助癮君子和遭受虐待的女性。

Andraschek’s philanthropic efforts for the homeless couldn’t have come at a better time. In 2013, the Hungarian parliament passed a law that threatens those who sleep on the streets with community work, fines and in some cases imprisonment, according to the BBC.

安德拉謝克的善舉真的是雪中送炭。2013年，BBC有報道稱，匈牙利議會通過了一項法令，露宿街道的人應被罰社區(qū)服務，并處罰金，甚至可能面臨牢獄之災。

This isn’t the first instance of a homeless man using jackpot winnings to help others. After winning $50,000 in April 2013, Dennis Mahurin, of Illinois, decided to opt out of improved living conditions and stay put in his tent. He gave $100 to all the other homeless people in the area.

流浪漢用彩票中獎的獎金來幫助他人的例子已經不是第一次了。2013年4月，伊利諾斯州的丹尼斯·馬胡林在中了5萬美元的獎之后，決定不把這筆錢花在改善自身生活條件上，而是繼續(xù)住在帳篷里。他給了住在同一區(qū)域的流浪漢每人100美元。
