French lorry driver wins lottery, saves company and employs his former boss What would you do if you won the lottery? Buy a house? A new car? A boat? Splash out on a dream holiday perhaps? Or squirrel the money away and continue life as usual? Or would you have a good, long think about things and after you had finished "shopping", buy the company you worked for? That's what one former lorry driver in his fifties from northwestern France did after he hit the jackpot.
