Imagine, one fine evening registering on an online betting website, after just viewing an advert on TV… You deposit £30 and start placing 25p bets on one of the slot games available.

At one point you get a winning spin… But to your amusement, it is not just a regular win…. It adds up to a total of £13,213,838.68, or with the current Euro conversion of €17,861,813.

This is what has happened to a 26 year old Afghanistan veteran this month.

Turns out, that Jon Heywood is an ideal candidate for this because not only did he serve his country but his father is in dire need of financial money in the hope to have a successful heart and lung transplant. He mentions that he intends to spend as much money as required to save his father’s life; that he won’t hold back on this and will choose the best options for him. He explains how he would give all the money he won back, if his father could just be healthy again, and not endure any more pain or struggles. He also mentions that he will change his Fiat Punto car, which he uses to go to work with a Bentley. He never thought he’d ever drive his dream car, let alone own it. He will also pay for his relatives to go on a Mediterranean cruise… (Let’s hope they make it to Malta and spend some of the money here!!)… and he is not sure what he will do with the rest of the money.
I’d say… good things happen to good deserving people, and who have good intentions…

Lets face it, €17,000,000 is a lot of money. I wouldn’t know where to begin in terms of spending it. I think I would donate some of the money to charities close to my heart, and would definitely save some of it in a bank and live off the interest. I’d definitely travel a lot, and see parts of the world which I don’t believe I can’t afford to see at this point in my life.
