This is the true life story of Sandeep Singh, a 22-year-old Massachusetts man nicknamed “Sunny,” who has been working two jobs to help support his family and was recently dumped by his girlfriend.
Hardly able to take in reality of his situation yet, Singh continually takes deep breaths while answering questions from reporters during most of the press conferences; he acknowledged that he was feeling “overwhelmed”. He also shared the touching story of how he has worked two jobs from the age of 14 to help his mother and sister pay the bills after his father passed away.
When he found out he had won, he said: “I was in my sister’s room on the computer reading the numbers… I didn’t know what to do. I dropped the ticket.”
Asked if he had any children, spouse or girlfriend, Singh noted his girlfriend had just left him: “She broke up with me, but right now, I’m not really worried about it… I was heartbroken at first, but now I’m getting over it.”
Of what he plans to do with his winnings Singh said, “Helping my mom with the mortgage, helping my family and, like, donating some money to the community; aside from that, nothing that I want to do, really.”
Sing had initially won $4 on a lotto scratch ticket and used the winnings to purchase four quick-pick Mega Millions tickets. He’s decided to take the $30.5 million in a lump sum, which the Boston Globe says will equal about $16.1 million after taxes.

Don’t quit a relationship because of your friends economic status. You have to pray as you strive for a change
Dts nt evn wt m concerned about. See d taxes. From 30.5 million dollars to 16.1 million dollars…thats too exorbitant nau…
That is how other countries survive .can Nigeria be able to recoup that kind of tax from a loitery winner? Characteristic of a developing nation,always bad attitude towards tax generation.
Phebe you so right what the hack!!! Half of the poor man’s win that’s sick if you ask me. Any way about the girlfriend we can’t judge it takes two to tango but in this case she has lost big time. I only hope the break up was never about the money.
Sandeep Singh Congrats and Proud to Be Punjabi
