A migrant worker who won a lottery worth 7 million yuan ($1.02 million) in Chongqing municipality plans to give a third to his brother.

The 20-something man, surnamed Luo, came to Chongqing from his hometown in Jiangsu province a year ago and has worked as a migrant worker since he was 16.

"I work with my younger brother in the city and we worked very hard just to survive," said the lucky lottery player.

"I like to buy tickets but I never thought I would win money. I only wanted to have a hope of better living."

After tax, Luo will take home 5.6 million yuan, of which he will give 2 million to his brother.
