Almost everyone in the community was said to have won the lottery on that Saturday with some winning as much as GH¢4,000.
Speaking to The Mirror on the fortune, a teacher in the town, Mr Maurice Aniawu, said a hunter shot the bird and brought it back home and noticed a ring with the inscription “JC 10802 Germania” tied to the legs.
He said the people interpreted the registration number as lottery numbers and invested in them only to enjoy a windfall on Saturday.
Mr Aniawu said the hunter had spotted three birds and shot at them but was able to kill one which resulted in the good fortune.
