Cary man gets fired, wins lottery on same day

CARY – A Cary man won $175,000 from the Illinois Lottery the same day he was fired from his job.

Wladyslaw Krawiec was fired from his job as a carpenter in Chicago six days before Christmas. Upon receiving the news from his boss, Krawiec headed home and stopped at a gas station to check his Lucky Day Lotto ticket.

“We won! We won!” Krawiec screamed to his wife over the phone.
