Chennai, Tamil Nadu – In the sweltering heat of a Wednesday afternoon, 39-year-old cab driver Muthuvel Rajan was parked outside a mall in T. Nagar, waiting for his next ride. He didn’t walk away with a passenger; but a jaw-dropping ₹9.2 crore win from a mobile game called Aviator.
I had no rides booked and ₹3,000 in my account; so I opened Aviator to pass the time.
It hit 5x, then 12x… I was sweating but held on. I cashed out at 38.7x just before it crashed!
What Next? From Taxi Stand to Triumph…
Muthuvel has been driving cabs for nearly 14 years. He supports his wife, two children, and aging parents in a two-room flat on the outskirts of Chennai. This win has given him a new mission. “I won’t leave driving fully – I love meeting people. But I want to build a home, invest wisely, and give my kids the life I never had.”
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT…?
With his winnings, he has:
- Purchased land to build a house
- Donated ₹3 lakh to an orphanage he grew up near
- Bought two cars to launch a small travel business
THE WINNING MOMENT…
The tension was sky-high as the little red plane took off, climbing steadily past the 1.5× mark, then 3.2×, then 7×—with the multiplier ticking upward in real time. Muthuvel’s eyes were locked on the screen, he hesitated, knowing every second could mean a bigger payout or a sudden crash. As the plane soared past 21×, adrenaline kicked in. Then, at 38.7×, with a deep breath and a well-timed tap, he cashed out—just milliseconds before the plane vanished into a nosedive. The screen flashed with celebratory sparks as the final multiplier locked in. What started as a ₹500 bet skyrocketed into a jaw-dropping win, turning nerves into triumph in the blink of an eye.
