WATCH: Beautiful moment a refugee family takes out mega $4 million South Australia home lottery

A couple who separately fled strife-torn in countries in Africa then met and married in Australia has won one of South Australia’s biggest lotteries.

Aristide Nininahazwe and Esther Mboneye purchased a single ticket among 200,000 sold in the Hospital Research Foundation Group Home Lottery.

They were shocked to receive a life-changing call from Channel 7’s Cosi on SAFM breakfast radio, telling the couple they had won $1 million cash and the keys to a fully-furnished luxury home at Henley Beach.

“You’re joking Cosi,” Aristide said.

The extra space is welcome with the couple expecting their second child later this year and marks another beautiful moment in their journey together after they met at Esther’s sister’s wedding in 2014.

Refugee family takes out $4 million home lottery in SA

Esther had come to Australia as a refugee with her parents in 2005.

Originally from Burundi, her parents had left amid conflict in the 1970s for the Congo, where Esther was born some years later. When civil war broke out there they made their way to Australia.

Separately, Aristide fled civil war in Burundi in 2011 and was a groomsman when he met Esther at the 2014 wedding.

As healthcare workers, the pair said they bought a ticket because they simply wanted to give back to the medical research charity.

“Our aim was not to win this ... it was just to give back to the community,” Aristide said.

Aristide is a disability support worker, while Esther works as a nurse.

The couple was moved to tears as they entered their new $3 million, four-bedroom home on the waterfront in Adelaide.

“I still can’t believe it ... why us?... I feel like I do not deserve this.” an emotional Esther said on Sunrise on Friday morning.

“I’m just trying to take everything in. It’s so beautiful.”

Aristide, Esther, and their three-year-old daughter Tiffany can move into the home in two-and-a-half weeks - just in time for the birth of their baby boy, due in August.

The Hospital Research Foundation Group is a charity that raises money for medical research, improved care in hospitals, and specialised support services in the community.

The couple plans to use their cash prize to travel back to Burundi to visit family, and are looking forward to watching their soccer teams Manchester United and Adelaide in their new living room.

Join the fight of our lives

Superbugs are set to be the No.1 global killer within the next three decades ... and every one of us could be affected.

Step by step into the heart of paradise

Resilient and resourceful: it’s what defines south australians and their businesses.

Road trip of rediscovery

We’re in the fight of – and for – our lives. For the past 20 years, a global war has been waged against a medical threat to all mankind. It may not be a war you have heard about but it’s one that is likely to affect every single one of us in some shape or form – and, until now, it’s a war we haven’t been winning.

It’s the battle of the bugs: more specifically, superbugs – bacteria that have adapted to become resistant to attacks from antibiotics and the immune system. MRSA, Streptococcus pneumoniae, E. coli and salmonella are just some of these bacterial infections. Currently, 700,000 people die every year across the globe as a result of antibiotic resistance, and the World Health Organisation predicts this will rise to 10 million deaths by the year 2050 – that’s more than the number of people who will die from cancer and diabetes combined.

Scientists both around the world and in Australia have joined the fight against superbugs, looking for new solutions to conquer this deadly issue. And one possible new solution has been discovered here in Adelaide by Dr Katharina Richter, a CJ Martin Biomedical Research Fellow at the Basil Hetzel Institute for Transitional Health Research (BHI), based at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and supported by The Hospital Research Foundation (THRF).

Dr Richter, who has worked at the Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery department at TQEH for the past three years, has been battling superbugs since she first encountered the deadly bacteria while working in an emergency pharmacy in Zurich, Switzerland.

“I worked with patients on a daily basis who had chronic infectious diseases and came with prescriptions for steroids, antibiotics and painkillers – and that’s all,” says the German-born researcher. “They came back every couple of weeks or months with a new prescription for the same drugs. It was so frustrating to see the patients suffering.”

Her experience sparked in Dr Richter a passion to research ways to combat superbugs. After a brief stint at the University of Copenhagen, she was awarded a PhD scholarship at The University of Adelaide, co-founded by THRF, where she researched new ways to destroy antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Now a post-doctoral researcher, Dr Richter continues to receive vital funding from THRF for her battle with the bugs.

The biggest challenge, she says, is the sheer tenacity of superbugs.

“Bacteria are actually very similar to us humans – they don’t want to live alone,” Dr Richter says. “Who wants to live alone, right? You find your mate, you multiply, you found a family, a home. Bacteria do the same: they multiply and form clusters, or families. These produce a slimy matrix – a biofilm – that covers the entire cluster. This biofilm makes them much more resistant to environmental changes so they can stand attacks from the immune system, from antibiotics. They can also survive UV light, humidity or any kind of hot or low temperatures.”

What makes superbugs even more formidable is their remarkable ability to exchange knowledge within these slimy matrix.

“Biofilms can talk to each other,” Dr Richter says. “Once a certain threshold of bacteria is reached, they start to communicate with each other, to streamline their defence and therefore to survive better. If one bacterium becomes resistant to an antibiotic, it can exchange this knowledge to all the other bacteria in the community; within a very short period of time, the entire biofilm becomes resistant. That’s why biofilms are so difficult to kill.”

Professor Guy Maddern, surgeon and Director of Research at BHI, says the situation has been exacerbated in recent years with our increasing reliance on, and the overprescription of, antibiotics, giving superbugs ample opportunity to strengthen their defence.

“People have been warning us about this for at least 20 years and it has become a commonplace problem over the last 10-15 years,” he says. “If the we don’t win the war against superbugs, we’ll be driving ourselves back to the pre-penicillin days. The things we take for granted now, where a course of antibiotics will lead to a likely resolution for the problem, will disappear.

“We are going to have a whole lot of our options taken away from us over the next decade and we have to find either other ways of managing it or completely different treatments.”

In her lab at the BHI, Dr Richter is doing just this, developing two new antibiotic-free treatments to stop superbugs in their tracks. One treatment, used as a nasal rinse “to flush out all the bad bugs” after sinus surgery, utilises minuscule silver particles (about 1/1000th the width of a human hair); the other, a wound-healing gel implemented in the sinuses after sinus surgery, contains two compounds that delete nutrients and act as a poisonous food, delivering a “double whammy” against superbugs.

The treatments, both currently part of a clinical trial at TQEH, are both delivered topically, giving them more power to combat biofilms.

“If you have a product that delivers your antibiotics or compounds directly to the spot where they are needed without going through the entire body, it’s much more effective,” Dr Richter says. “The drug does not have to travel through the gut, so you can increase the concentration of your drug and deliver it directly where it is needed without having side effects.”

At present, Dr Richter’s treatment is mainly active against Golden Staff but she foresees it becoming a weapon against other superbugs in the future. But, while one battle looks to be almost won, the war against superbugs is far from over.

“Bacteria are smart and they will always adapt and try to survive; therefore it is essential for us to never stop doing research and coming up with new weapons to kill bacteria,” Dr Richter says. “This is why medical research is so much needed and also funding for medical research is needed.”

Much of the funding for Dr Richter’s important research has come from THRF and its popular Hospital Research Home Lottery.

“THRF funding is absolutely crucial for me,” she says. “The Foundation is one of the major funding bodies in South Australia – without them, many people would die. Without research there’s no innovation and no health benefit for the entire population.”

It’s a sentiment echoed by Prof Maddern.

“The support the Foundation has provided has been fantastic,” he says. “This is an endless fight but I do think this particular problem, given enough time and resources can be fixed.

“It’s likely to be a problem that’s going to affect someone in your family over the next decade. You hope it doesn’t but it’s almost a certainty someone in your immediate circle will be affected.”

FIGHTING FOR THE FUTURE

For younger researchers like Dr Richter, support from THRF is key not just to funding but also to furthering scientific investigations.

“The Foundation is always there for us researchers,” she says. “They help us get the message out if we have a new superbug or cancer treatment or whatever researchers are doing. They are interested in the outcome and they want to see we bring innovations directly to patients in clinical practice. This is what they’re passionate about and it’s what I’m passionate about as well – that’s why it’s a dream team.”

Paul Flynn, CEO of The Hospital Research Foundation, says funding supported by the Hospital Research Home Lottery provides an essential platform which allows inexperienced researchers to progress their studies.

“Younger, less experienced researchers who are only five or so years out of finishing their PhD, and many students and researchers applying to do their PhDs, would struggle without the funding we provide,” Flynn says. “These are the sort of people we have to nurture otherwise the future of Australian medical research won’t be as rosy.”

THRF provides vital medical funding to help save the lives of thousands of South Australians through its donors and annual Hospital Research Home Lottery, which offers a first prize of a luxurious new home plus $1 million in cash, and hundreds of other fantastic prizes.

“It’s a bit of a win-win for the community,” Flynn says. “The community sees the benefit, they feel the benefit because they experience the benefit.”

DREAM COME TRUE

Thanks to the Hospital Research Home Lottery, Gavin Reichelt is now living the dream, with a luxury new home in Brighton and $1 million in the bank.

Reichelt, 57, bought his tickets in the third and final 2018 Home Lottery on the spur of the moment.

“I was sitting watching TV one night and saw the ad for the Home Lottery. I thought I’d just ring up and buy three tickets. The lady on the phone said it was cheaper to buy five so I decided to buy 10,” he says.

Incredibly, the winning ticket was in the second batch of five Reichelt bought.

“I’m never usually stuck for words but I was just flabbergasted – I couldn’t believe it,” says Reichelt, formally from Mount Barker. “It’s life-changing. The first afternoon I moved into the house, I sat on the balcony watching the ocean for three hours – it was just amazing.”

The highlight of winning for Reichelt is the security the money brings to help him support his three grown-up children and two grandchildren.

“My main aim is to look after the kids because things are pretty tough for them,” he says. “To be able to help them is the biggest thing – to know they’ll be looked after.”

Reichelt is deeply grateful to the Hospital Research Home Lottery for giving him this new start in life.

“They’re fantastic people,” he says. “And the lottery helps THRF too, so the money is going to a good cause.”

A free house is just one piece of the plan to revitalize Alabama’s fastest-shrinking city

When a tornado hit Selma last January, Tamicka Newberry and her husband didn’t just lose their home, she said. They also lost the strong sense of community they shared with their neighbors.

“To relocate, it wasn’t just like we lost our apartment,” Newberry told AL.com . “We lost our family too. I still keep in contact with some of them, but some went here and some went there, so you know, it’s been a journey.”

In a city already short on housing and losing population each year, an estimated 1,800 families were displaced by the tornado, according to city officials, many of them left to live in hotels while they searched for permanent accommodations. About 535 of those families received rental assistance from FEMA to be rehoused, but “we can reasonably assume that was assistance to go live elsewhere,” said Danielle Wooten, the planning and development director for the city of Selma.

But Newberry dreamed of owning a house she could pass down to her family — one with a front porch and a yard where her grandchildren could play. Last month, her dream came true. She won a free home in a raffle from a new initiative to revitalize her hometown.

“It was awesome,” Newberry said. “It took me a minute to realize it was my name and then I jumped for joy.”

The new, innovative effort to build more affordable homes in Selma, the iconic civil rights city of just under 17,000 west of Montgomery, has the potential to not only be a foundation for economic and social growth, but also a model for the nation struggling with an affordable housing crisis, said Wooten.

“This project definitely is serving as a model. A model for communities of all sizes, honestly, but definitely as a model for rural, disadvantaged small communities,” Wooten said.

Wooten said the city is not keeping data on whether families are returning to Selma after being displaced. But according to recent census data , Selma lost another 341 residents from July 1, 2022 to July 1, 2023, a decline of 2% in a single year.

A major obstacle to returning, and a factor in the population decline, has been a housing shortage that plagued the city long before the tornado.

“It creates a situation where people cannot live and work in Selma…and the tornado has just exacerbated that crisis,” Wooten said.

‘Growth and revitalization’

Newberry struggled to feel at home last year after the tornado tore the roof off their rental apartment and flooded the interior, forcing her and her husband to live with relatives across town.

With winds over 100 mph, more than 600 structures and roughly half of the residential neighborhoods in Selma were destroyed, Mayor James Perkins told AL.com last year .

“It was just a different atmosphere,” Newberry said. “There was a roof over our head but it didn’t feel like home. It didn’t feel like a fit for me.”

Newberry began attending meetings of the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America, a national nonprofit that helps people access affordable housing, to learn about the steps to becoming a homeowner.

The housing organization first approached officials in Selma a few months before the tornado about holding workshops to help more people become homeowners. They were scheduled to hold their first workshop on the day the storm hit.

Now, amid the continuing recovery efforts and for the first time ever, NACA is playing the role of developer — building 100 new affordable homes in the city, houses that are energy-efficient and climate resistant to help Selma be more resilient in the face of future natural disasters.

The modular homes were built according to international housing code, tested to withstand high-wind speeds that mimic hurricanes and tornadoes.

NACA also will provide financial counseling to help people sustain homeownership.

Brian Rodriguez, a mortgage counselor for NACA, said he hopes housing is the starting point for growth in the city.

“When people feel that they have a safe place, a comfortable place where they can lay their head, commune with their families, it’s uphill from there…you can then look at other avenues like employment and social and economic stability,” he said.

“Look what happened after the storm. The rental market couldn’t support the amount of people that needed a place to go…but if you have stability in homeownership and insurance, I don’t think we would have seen such an exodus in Selma.”

In a public-private partnership with the city, Selma Housing Authority and the Black Belt Community Foundation, NACA has built the first five homes, which are now available for sale. The housing authority purchased the land while NACA purchased the houses with $700,000 in funding coming from the community foundation, according to leaders of the initiative.

Bank of America has had a long relationship with NACA and is subsidizing the project with an additional $2 million, Rodriguez told AL.com .

The homes are three bedroom, two bathroom and sell for around $169,500.

For the first time, the Selma Housing Authority will also allow people to use Section 8 vouchers toward home ownership. The subsidies from the housing authority vouchers can go toward paying a mortgage every month instead of rent.

“Our goal is to see how we can use our vouchers to create homeownership opportunities,” said Kennard Randolph, CEO of the Selma Housing Authority.

According to Randolph, the housing authority has also bought homes in the community to rehabilitate.

“We want to create those opportunities, not only for our residents, but for school teachers, for firefighters, for people that work at the hospital, anybody who wants to live and work in Selma,” he said. “This could significantly help with our city’s growth and revitalization.”

‘I can see Selma coming back’

During one of the NACA workshops, Newberry put her name in a lottery to win one of the newly built houses.

On April 18, a crowd gathered outside a new home in a neighborhood near downtown Selma, on one of the streets hit hardest by the tornado. Newberry “jumped for joy” and nearly collapsed when her name was announced as the winner of the brand new house.

Randolph also informed Newberry that the partnership would furnish the house and pay for insurance the first year.

“That will give me and my husband time to save money and everything,” she said. “It’s a blessing and we are very grateful to everyone involved.”

According to Wooten, this collaboration could be a model for how the nation tackles the affordable housing crisis.

“NACA knows that if they can do it here in Selma in these conditions, they should be able to replicate it in other areas as well,” Wooten said.

Selma has been the fastest-shrinking city in Alabama for the past several years. The population decline, hastened by white flight and the Craig Air Force Base closure in 1977, has caused many businesses and community centers, such as the Brown YMCA, to permanently shutter.

Since Selma won the nation the right to vote in the 1960s, the population has gone down by 37% and by 13% in the last decade alone.

“I do think there’s a correlation with the housing shortage and population decline, especially with quality housing access,” said Wooten, noting that it’s been 20 years since the city’s last subdivision was built.

Many of the affordable multi-family and single-family homes in Selma were designated for low-income residents or senior living, leaving middle class families and individuals few options. Some buildings were left abandoned as residents moved away or died.

The Selma and Dallas County Economic Development Authority recently reported that the area has thousands of jobs available, namely in the manufacturing and distribution industries. This year, Selma ranked in the top 50 of ‘micropolitan’ areas nationwide — cities with populations between 10,000 and 50,000 — for corporate expansion.

But about 5,000 people drive into the county every day for work , largely because of the housing shortage.

“Housing absolutely impacts the economic status of the community as well as quality of life,” Wooten said.

At her new home, Newberry immediately began to envision where she would put the dining room table so she and her family can have meals together again. She can see the backyard from the kitchen where she can watch her grandkids play, just a few blocks from her stepdaughter’s home.

Newberry recently got a new job at Reflections, a new coffee shop on Water Street that she can walk to. U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell and the Small Business Administration recently recognized the shop’s owner among business leaders who contribute to rebuilding their communities after natural disasters .

Selma still isn’t the same since the tornado, Newberry said, but “it’s getting back, I can see Selma coming back.”

She still wants to see more businesses and more houses, people coming back together “like a family should be.”

For Wooten, homeownership is the cornerstone for all of those objectives.

“Research has proven that individuals who own their homes are more prone to have pride and to take care of their homes and, you know, their neighborhoods and their communities,” she said. “Home ownership has to be a foundation for long-term stability. By owning your homes, families create a legacy for the future generations and secure family success.”

Newberry is eager to create that legacy for her family. Her daughter recently got married and she hopes she will soon come home when she finishes her military duties.

“This is a dream come true and now it’s a dream I can pass down to my kids and my grandchildren,” she said.

Prostate Cancer Foundation Home Run Challenge raises awareness, funds for research

MLB and the Prostate Cancer Foundation are joining forces once again to support prostate cancer research through the PCF Home Run Challenge, and PCF Founder and Chairman Michael Milken stopped by Saturday's FOX Sports broadcast between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds to talk about the cause.

"We started 28 years ago with the idea of keeping Dad in the game," Milken said. "Coming out to major league ballparks and reminding Dad to get that simple test for prostate cancer. We had an early warning system, but most men don't get it. And so the goal with Major League Baseball has been, during this period of time — and this is our 28th season — to raise awareness and raise funds for prostate cancer." 

From now through Father's Day on June 16, the PCF Team is traveling to MLB parks around the country and meeting fans and players alike, including stars such as Shohei Ohtani , Bryce Harper , Aaron Judge and more.

Fans can get involved by tracking their favorite team's home runs, taking PCF's baseball trivia challenges, and entering to win signed baseball memorabilia. New prizes are offered every week on PCF.org/HomeRunChallenge .

Fans can also make a donation anytime leading up to Father's Day on June 16. Every donation of $5000 or more will earn entry into a drawing for a luxury All-Star Game getaway for two, including five-star acommodations and a $500 hotel credit. Learn more here .

The PCF was founded to fund the most promising research into new treatments and cures for prostate cancer. Now, for the 29th season, the group is raising awareness and funds to support the cause.

To date, the Home Run Challenge has raised more than $70 million for prostate cancer research.

"It's been amazing, this program that FOX has really been behind and what we've been able to achieve," Milken said. "We now have 20 new therapies that have been approved for men."

PCF supporters have been to more than 500 games in every MLB ballpark and participated in more than 1,000 broadcasts. That included Saturday during the MLB broadcast on FOX.

With one in every eight men in the U.S. being diagnosed with prostate cancer, it's clearly an important cause, and the good news is that the disease is highly treatable.
