A family man from Brandenburg has provided a big surprise.
A simple cigarette purchase suddenly made him a millionaire.
Munich - It's a gloomy running gag: The family man assures his wife and children that he will “just go get cigarettes for a moment” and won't come back.
Instead, he begins a new life and does not contact his lover until years later.
A similar story happened
in
Brandenburg an der Havel at the
beginning of October - only a lot more positive.
A family man went there on the
day of German
reunification to get cigarettes too, but firstly he came back and secondly had a ticket in his luggage, which was supposed to cause a big surprise.
