‘Homer Simpson’ claims J$258 million Super Lotto jackpot

Businessman D Williams from central Jamaica is the newest Super Lotto millionaire after claiming the J$258 million jackpot in the Supreme Ventures Limited (SVL) game.

He hit the jackpot with the winning numbers 04, 10, 15, 22, 30, and the superball 08 drawn on Friday, January 24.

Williams, dressed as The Simpsons character Homer to claim his winnings, said the lucky numbers came to him in a dream several months ago.

“I’ve been playing these same numbers since I dreamed them,” said the elated winner. “I wasn’t always buying Super Lotto but since I had the dream I have been buying those numbers. I had a feeling they would win one day so even when I buy them and they don’t play, I keep buying them.”

When asked about his plans for the windfall, Williams stated that he intends to make sound financial decisions, including investing in real estate properties and expanding his current business.

“This is a lot of money, and I want to be smart about it,” Williams explained. “You can’t really go wrong with investing in real estate and I had wanted to expand my business for some time and now I have the money to do it.”

Speaking at the handover event, Danielle Douglas, VP Lotteries and Transactions at SVL expressed her delight with making yet another Jamaican a super millionaire.

“We are very excited welcome our newest member to the super millionaire club. We are heartened to learn that Mr Williams plans to use the money to expand his business which means he will be using his winning to positively impact not only himself or his immediate family but his community and the Jamaica economy through direct and indirect employment.”
