KINGSTON, Jamaica — Over $1 billion was paid out to three Super Lotto winners in 2023.

The announcement was made by CEO of Supreme Ventures Gaming, Xesus Johnston during a recent handover ceremony for the first Super Lotto millionaire of 2024 — a north coast-based businessman who won the $163 million jackpot using numbers his father played for years.

Super Lotto was hit three times in Jamaica in 2023, with the highest ever Super Lotto jackpot of $542.5 million won in April, $342 million won in November and $144.6 million won in December.

“Last year was phenomenal for our Super Lotto players. We paid out over $1 billion to three winners, all of whom were excited to help their families and community with their winnings,” Johnston said.

“It’s not lost on us that our jackpots not only transform the lives of our winners who are from all walks of life but also help to improve the lives of so many people who are around them as well. We’re very pleased to be positively impacting the life of yet another Jamaican through Super Lotto,” he continued.

The multi-jurisdictional game is currently played in six Caribbean countries — Jamaica, Barbados, St Kitts & Nevis, Anguilla, Antigua and St Maarten.
