Although it would have been more beneficial if he would have got the winnings 9 years earlier itself but yet its still a lot of money.
The sad thing is that the amount would not be inflation adjusted but I think that's how it is.
Good thing is that the judge ruled the case in his favor and that's what matters.
- Yes, you're right there, and I think if he didn't approach the head or take the complain in the court, he probably wouldn't get what was really for him. If you look at other people, they probably give up right away, but this lottery winner is so strong in his belief that he even came to the point where he felt like giving up, but he still fought it and continued to follow it up.
Then, after 9 years, what happened to him was like a retirement fee, right? The rewards or lump sum that he waited for resulted in things that his loved ones did not think that he would still get, meaning he is still really lucky, fate still favors Him.
Yeah right. That's the reason why I said he truly deserves the amount because he did something that normally others wouldn't.
But it does not matter if its 9 years earlier or 9 years later. He should get the money, and in case of getting it later he is getting 6% interest per annum, but he should also have gotten money for even having to endure almost an entire decade of having to battle needlessly. I am sure that he wasted a lot of money on lawyers and a lot of personal time that could have been spent, making money or doing other things.
Gambling businesses should be held to a higher standard and given much harsher punishments.
True that. In such cases, the judge announces that the opposition party has to pay the compensation for the harassment the victim had to go through.
So if that was provided then the fees for the lawyer and other expenses would be covered in the compensation.
