An auto driver from Sendhwa’s Ghode Shah Wali neighbourhood in Madhya Pradesh has become a millionaire by investing just Rs. 49 in the online gaming platform Dream 11. Shahabuddin won an award of Rs. 1.5 crore after he created a team on Dream 11 during the IPL match between Kolkata and Punjab, taking home the top prize in this division.
Following his win, messages of congratulations have been pouring in for Shahabuddin, who had been trying his luck in Dream 11 for almost two years. He currently lives in a rented home but plans to use the winnings to construct his own house and launch his own company. Shahabuddin has already withdrawn Rs. 20 lakh from his app wallet out of the winning amount, with taxes totalling Rs. 6 lakh being withheld, leaving him with Rs. 14 lakh in his bank account.
