Overview

• A young man who had recently moved from Campania to Friuli for work bought three €5 'Numerissimi' tickets at Velox Pizza in Pradamano, near Udine.
• After the shopkeeper confirmed the ticket’s €500,000 prize, the buyer fainted inside the bar, received assistance, and recovered shortly afterward.
• A family member took the man home following the episode, according to the owners Arian Toska and Mirela Mance.
• The owners say the customer later returned to his hometown in Campania and has not been seen by them since.
• Local outlet Messaggero Veneto first reported the account, which was then picked up by Il Messaggero, Il Fatto Quotidiano, and Corriere della Sera without independent verification.
