A British forklift driver who turned into a millionaire overnight suffered a life-threatening health scare after months of nonstop partying — forcing him to rethink his post-jackpot lifestyle, according to a report.
Adam Lopez, 39, went from having nearly $17 in his bank account to having over $1.3 million on hand after winning a scratch-off lottery in July, BBC reported.
By September, Lopez was in the back of an ambulance suffering from a bilateral pulmonary embolism, the outlet reported.
“I knew what I was doing was going to come to an end eventually, and it nearly came to an end in the worst possible way. It was a massive, massive wake-up call,” the Mattishall man told the outlet.
