Smile at life and life will smile back at you. Here’s the story of a lucky Indian man Krishna Barri from Tampa in Florida. He has proved that a hero is not necessarily someone who wears a cape and has superpowers. But, being a hero is about helping others and endeavoring to make a difference in other people lives.

According to Fox 31, Krishna Baari became a millionaire after he won $14.5 million from the Florida Lottery in a monthly raffle. He plans to use his newfound fortunes to help less fortunate children.

This seems like a stroke of luck as Barri never tried his luck at a lottery, he told the news publication.
