50-year old Bernardo Antonio Tejada Eloy was reading Diario Libre when he found out he had won RD$218 million in the Leidsa lottery. After taxes, that is RD$163.5 million for him. He lives in Moca and works as a driver at Cloro Macier.
As reported in Diario Libre, he said he was now seeking financial advice and that he is considering becoming a car dealer.
He said he is aware that many people who win the lottery “go nuts.” Tejada said that every time he played the lottery he would put the tickets at the foot of the statue of Our Lady of Altagracia in his room. “I now need to go to the Higuey Basilica to pay for a promise I made to her,” he told Diario Libre.
He said he would buy a better house and help his parents Bernardo and Mercedes, who also live in Moca. He also plans to help his children Jose Bernardo and Lisseth Alexander, his two sisters and other close relatives.
He said he had been playing the same numbers for a year and a half.
