对于这位鲜少买彩票的男子来说,这真的像是一场“愚人节玩笑”

After learning that he was diagnosed with cancer, a North Carolina man received a bit of good news — that he'd won a quarter of a million dollars in a lottery scratch-off.

在获悉自己被诊断出癌症后,美国北卡罗来纳州的一位男子迎来了一个还算不错的消息:他买的刮刮乐彩票竟让他中了25万美元的大奖。

Richard Beare said he "rarely" plays the lottery but won a $250,000 prize -- after he'd recently found out he had stage 4 liver cancer.

Richard Beare 说他自己“很少”买彩票。但最近他被诊断出患有四期肝癌,他想不到自己会在这时侯获得25万美元的大奖。

在交完税后,他一共能获得17.6876万美元($176,876)。

那么Richard先生为何会突然想到买彩票?这还多亏了他的妻子...

"I only stopped because my wife asked me to get a Powerball ticket since the jackpot was so high," he said.

“(当时我们在街上走着),我妻子让我去买一张强力球(美国的一种彩票),因为她看到头奖的金额很诱人。于是我停下来去买了,”他说。

Beare was at a Quik Trip store two weeks ago and decided to buy four scratch-offs while he was there.

两周前在一家Quik Trip商店,他买了四张刮刮乐。

Beare said that his fourth scratch-off was the big winner. He said he noticed the ticket had matching numbers, and asked his wife what that meant.

他说他第四张刮刮乐中了大奖。他注意到刮刮乐上的数字与大奖的数字对应,并问他妻子这意味着什么。

"She said it meant I won a price. I told her, 'Well, I guess we just won $250,000 then,'" Beare said. "She was in shock and just kept looking back and forth to me and the ticket."

“她说这意味着我中奖啦。我告诉她‘我想我们刚刚中了25万美金’。我的妻子惊讶不已,一下看看我,一下看看这张中奖的彩票。”

对任何人来说,突然被25万美金大奖砸中都算是一件天大的好事。但有点微妙的是,这次中奖的是一位癌症末期病人。

那么Richard在生命末期,打算如何使用这笔奖金?

他本人是这么说的:

"I want to travel while I can still enjoy myself," he said. "My wife has always wanted to go to Italy, since that's where her descendants are from. Now I can take her."

“在我还能享受生命的时候,我想去旅行。我的妻子是意大利人后裔,所以一直想去意大利。现在我能带她去了。”
