A man’s life was nearly cut short just moments after securing a £3.2 million (Rs 33.87 crore) jackpot at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands Casino. The winner's euphoria rapidly turned into a life-threatening ordeal, camera footage shows, when he collapsed from a heart attack mere seconds after his celebration.
The distressing footage shows the man initially revelling in his win, punching the air in sheer joy. However, the scene quickly shifted as he fell to the floor, motionless. Panic ensued among onlookers and staff, who sprang into action to save his life.
A woman accompanying the man became visibly concerned, her frantic pleas for help echoing through the casino. The staff's swift response and attempts to resuscitate him were met with tense anticipation from the crowd. Against the odds, the man was revived on the casino floor and rushed to the hospital, where he is currently recovering.
