A French man, Jean-Davide Estele, had his credit card stolen by two thieves who used it to purchase a winning lottery ticket worth 500,000 euros ($525,000). The incident took place in Toulouse when the criminals broke into Estele's car and made purchases at a bar, including the lottery ticket.
Estele's lawyer, Pierre Debuisson, revealed that despite the theft, Estele is willing to split the jackpot with the thieves, who are believed to be homeless and have since disappeared. Debuisson emphasized that the thieves played a crucial role in buying the winning ticket, and he is urging them to come forward to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
