An Algerian man in Belgium is fighting to claim his €250,000 winnings because of his status.
An Algerian man who won €250,000 on a €5 scratchcard in Belgium is struggling to claim his winnings because of his undocumented status.
Because he cannot open a bank account, the lottery company will not make the payment, the man's lawyer, Alexander Verstraete, said. The card is now being held by a court in the town of Bruges, close to the port of Zeebrugge where it was bought.
