The change came after red tape was slashed especially for him, Italian media reported over the weekend.
The man, Gianluigi, was prevented from landing the win initially because he didn’t have a health card and his tax code had run out.
But after a month of bureaucratic tinkering, officials said last Friday that he could receive the money.
Gianlugi is originally from Puglia and so the people who know him in his adopted home of Senigallia, a plush Marche resort town, have renamed him ‘Cassano’ after former Roma and Italy striker Antonio Cassano, who is from Bari old town.
