It seemed as if the ones who walked away with millions were him and his wife because they believed they used the gains to furnish a lavish lifestyle, including remodelling their home, buying a new luxury car, jewellery, handbags and holiday trips.

"Either I misheard God, or God is still not done with this project," he pointed out.
