However, the lucky finder is now faced with the difficult decision to whom he will cede the ring. It is clear that there will be a lot of money in it for him.
But that’s exactly what the finder has to deal with first. Because the anonymous lucky guy is not a streamer or a millionaire. He’s just a regular guy who had a bit of luck.
“This kind of thing doesn’t happen to people like me “
For a long time there was no information about the finder of the card. Even though he still wants to remain anonymous, the gaming site (Dexerto) was able to get an exclusive interview with the future millionaire.
In the interview, the finder explains that on the morning of June 16, he spontaneously thought of going to a shop and buying two Collectors boxes of the new set.
In the second box he then found the card for which quite a few streamers had bought hundreds of packs.
He says he knew immediately what kind of card it was.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that will change my life. It doesn’t happen to people like me.
He said his plan is to sell the card and invest the money in his future.
It is not yet possible to say exactly how much he will get for the card at the end of the day. However, it seems that the card has found someone who can make good use of the money in any case.
