A South African woman dumped her boyfriend the same week he won the equivalent of $4 million USD.

The man said he didn't even check if he had won initially because the breakup had just happened. It wasn't until last Friday night – after his girlfriend had moved out of their shared apartment – that he sat down and realized he had won. He was initially in so much shock that he even took a cold shower to clear his head.

"It was real — lady luck was on my side, but clearly not so much for her," said the man, referring to his ex.

Just to be nice, however, he said he'd buy her a nice home appliance or two to make her feel better.

"I will also buy my ex-girlfriend a fridge, probably a washing machine too, just to say 'no hard feelings.'"

In addition to investing the money and helping some neighbors affected by the pandemic, he said he's ready to start a family... just as soon as he finds a good woman.
