Some emotions transcend language barriers. The joy and surprise of two boys finding out their dad had won the lottery can be felt by anyone.

Although the dialogue is in Danish, it appears the dad called a meeting with his sons to discuss an important family matter. There are champagne and strawberries set out on the table, but the meeting begins with a somber tone. According to a translation, the dad then tells his sons he's quit his job and that he's won a "little bit" of money. he then pulls a bag out from under the tab;e and hands each boy a stack of cash and a new iPad. Apparently "Oh My God!" is the same is Danish as it is in English.

The boys are clearly surprised and excited, but it doesn't stop there. The dad slowly reveals that he's won even more money than he initially said, and hands out more and more cash.

By the end of the video, the man shares the full news with his sons that he had won 15 million Danish Kroner, about $2.7 million.
