Winning the lotto generally results in retirement - from life.
Fuat Özdemir, who worked as a laborer at a firm selling agricultural
products in Süloğlu, Edirne, won 11,345,642 TL (about $3.5 million
at today's exchange rate) in the Super Lotto drawing in 2014. Upon
winning the lotto, Özdemir left Süloğlu and sought advice about his
windfall from his boss B.A. However, things went awry and Özdemir
filed a complaint with the Edirne public prosecutor, alleging that B.A.
had siphoned off 5.3 million TL for himself (!).
The ball tolls for thee.
Özdemir was living in a ramshackle house but bought himself a new
home and a car. He also helped out his friends and relations. Özdemir
bought an office on the 4th floor of 5-story business center on
Tarlakapı Avenue in the Abdurrahman neighborhood but the building
was attacked a number of times so Özdemir payed protection money
to the sons of gang leader Nuri Ergin of the Kargümrük gang (!).
Over the course of 3 years Özdemir went broke and developed
cirrhosis. He died the night before last at Trakya University Medical
Faculty and will be buried in Süloğlu tomorrow.
Süloğlu district is in the north of Edirne province.
