A Nigerian lady recently shared a post on social media recounting how her entire family moved to America after playing the visa lottery game as a joke.
In the post, she explained that the incident occurred several years ago, but she still thinks about it every day.
According to her, the family casually decided to participate in the American visa lottery without any serious intention, and to their surprise, they won.
She recalled, “Every day I think about how my parents moved to America by luck. We played the visa lottery game as a joke, and next thing you know, we won and moved within a year.”
While some doubted her story, she clarified, “Everyone keeps saying ‘as a joke,’ but I remember the day we applied so vividly. We were at a cyber café, genuinely thinking it was just banter. We even forgot we had applied. Then, a year later, we received the email saying we had won, and the rest is history.”
The post quickly gained traction, sparking a flood of comments from online users sharing their thoughts and reactions.
