He was one of the luckiest persons in the world not so long ago. After all, winning a super expensive Lamborghini Huracan can feel like winning the world. But for 24-year-old Grant Burnett, the elation of driving his prize soon turned into a nightmare as he reportedly crashed the vehicle within weeks of taking possession of it.

Burnett had hit headlines in the UK after his lottery ticket worth 99 pence had won him what is a dream machine for millions across the world. He was even filmed spraying champagne as part of his winning celebrations. He also had the option of alternatively taking £100,000 in cash but he had chosen the supercar instead. But his choice now sports a sorry profile after meeting with an accident.
