An Ohio man has won the ‘Twitter lottery’ and owns the handle @alphabet, which also happens to be Google’s new moniker.
The company announced Monday that they would operate under a new name, prompting countless Twitter users to search for “alphabet,” thinking Google would have created a new account. These users quickly discovered that Cleveland man Chris Andricanich actually owns the handle.
Andrikanich now has over 2,000 followers on Twitter, and posted this in response to his "interesting" day:
According to CNN Money, Twitter rules state that users cannot buy or sell user names, but those with coveted handles have been offered thousands of dollars on the underground market.
By the looks of it, though, Google will not be seeking out Andrikanich’s user name, and has instead created an account under the handle @alphabetinc.
While Andrikanich may not actually score big because of his Twitter moniker, he is sure to continue to gain attention and followers through the coincidence.
