A casual labourer had his prayers answered over the weekend when he won $30,000 after scratching a Silver Dragon Series 3 “Scratch n Win” ticket in Ba.

Raven Kumar, married with three children, said he walked into the R.C Manubhai Lotto Ba agency, held his breath and wished for a win.

He is the second winner of $30,000 within two weeks.

Kumar said he is thankful for the win as he is a casual labourer and was laid off from his normal work nine months ago, and is now cutting cane to fulfill his daily needs to survive.
