‘Dream come true’ says Kingston winner of $127 million Lotto jackpot
KINGSTON, Jamaica – A Kingston resident is Jamaica’s newest Lotto millionaire after claiming a whopping $127 million jackpot.
While he’s no stranger to winning, having hit the Lucky 5 jackpot in the past, this marks his first Lotto win and largest jackpot to date.
The player’s commitment to his chosen numbers — 01, 02, 03, 10, 13, 25 —paid off with the October 26 draw, according to the lucky winner in a release from gaming company Supreme Ventures Limited.
“I’ve been playing these numbers for years because I believed they would win someday,” the man said. “Even when people said I should change them, I said no. I might use different numbers for other games like Lucky 5, but these have always been my lucky Lotto numbers and I know that one day they would hit.”
The winner plans to invest his money wisely, focusing on completing his family home and funding his children’s education.
“Winning this Lotto jackpot has been a dream come true,” he stated. “I am really grateful for this opportunity to change my family’s future.”
Danielle Douglas, VP Lotteries and Transactions, expressed her delight at seeing another Jamaican using their winnings constructively.
“We are always heartened when winners use their winnings as catalysts for positive change, benefiting both themselves and their families. We warmly welcome our newest member to the Lotto millionaire club and wish him continued success.”
This win marks 2024’s third Lotto jackpot, following P Stewart of St Andrew’s $142 million win in April and a $37 million jackpot shared by two Kingston winners in May.
