Alappuzha: Kanichukulangara native K R Sasi won a 5 cent plot worth Rs 9 lakhs in a lucky draw. The draw was held for locals of the area who had donated for arranging a mega show by singer Jassie Gift and group, as part of the Kanichukulangara temple festival. The show was sponsored by ‘Altharakotam’, a group of young men.

Sasi had donated Rs 300 and wanted to enjoy the show, but fate had other plans. As luck would have it, a five-cent plot was decided as the prize for the lucky draw among contributors to the mega event.

After the mega show on March 4, the coupon with Sasi’s number was adjudged the lucky winner in the presence of singer Jassie Gift, SNDP Yogam General Secretary Vellappally Natesan, music composer Ishaan Dev, flutist Rajesh Cherthala and others. The identity of the winner was revealed only later. Sasi has to spend only on the title deed of the house. 

Sasi, who used to run a bicycle workshop, was recently hired as a power lineman. Vellappally Natesan will transfer the documents of the land at 9 am on Sunday.
