For the second year in a row, the first prize in Kerala's Onam bumper lucky draw has been won by an auto driver. And while Sreevaraham-native Anoop celebrates striking the Rs 25 jackpot, last year's winner has a message for him.
"Go for a fixed deposit for at least two years and live a modest life," said Marad-native Jayapalan, who had won the Rs 12 crore Onam bumper last year.
Like Anoop, Jayapalan too is an auto driver, who claims to be still riding his three-wheeler despite being a millionaire.
And Jayapalan has warned Anoop to spend wisely. "Find a way to ensure your family is secure. Many people will come seeking help. I have helped a few, but it is not easy to help everyone and a few of my relatives have turned against me because of that," Jayapalan said.
