Super Lotto player wins $163m jackpot using dad’s lucky numbers
KINGSTON, Jamaica — A north coast-based businessman has won the $163 million Super Lotto jackpot using numbers his father has been faithfully buying for years.
The winning numbers were 04, 08, 09, 15, 30 and SuperBall 02.
“This win is surreal, beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” said Supreme Venture Limited’s newest super millionaire at the official handover of his winnings recently.
“I buy Super Lotto occasionally and I only bought this ticket because my father gave me the numbers and told me to buy a ticket. He’s the one who checked the results told me that the numbers hit. I was in shock when he called me and told me. It’s almost unbelievable!” he continued.
When pressed to say whether he will be sharing his windfall with the man who provided the lucky numbers, his answer was a resounding yes.
“Even though I’m the one who won the jackpot, this money will be used to help the whole family. I don’t plan to braff or anything like that, I’m looking to invest in my business, buy real estate and of course make sure Daddy get his share,” he said.
