Phokeng (S.Africa), June 2 (ANI): Lucky Ramaroa will be the luckiest man in South Africa when England take on the United States in their first World Cup match in June 12 in Phokeng.

"I have hit the jackpot here, no doubt.I have the only bar for eight kilometers. My closest rival is in Rustenburg," Lucky, 46, was quoted, as saying.

"England fans drink a great deal, no? Well, they have competition here with the locals," he added.
