Businessman to use $258.5m Super Lotto winnings to change family’s life
KINGSTON, Jamaica — A Jamaican businessman is looking to turn his life-changing $258.5 million Super Lotto jackpot win into a brighter future for his family and a major boost for the business he has spent years building.
A Byfield became the latest Super Lotto jackpot winner after matching the numbers drawn in June: 6, 12, 14, 18, 21 and Super Ball 2.

For Byfield, the win came unexpectedly after he broke from his usual routine of purchasing Lotto tickets on Tuesdays and Fridays. Instead, he decided to buy a Super Lotto ticket.
Byfield said he discovered he was the lucky winner while visiting his regular lottery retailer to purchase another ticket. Upon arrival, he learned that someone from that very location had won the Super Lotto jackpot. Moments later, he realised the winner was him.

“Thank you, Jesus!” were his first words.
“My workers were looking at me, with no idea what had just happened, but all I could say was ‘Yes! Thank you Jesus!” he recalled.
Byfield’s first call was to his wife. A devoted family man, Byfield said his biggest priority is using the winnings to improve his family’s quality of life.
For him, the jackpot is not just about financial freedom, but about creating opportunities and securing a better future.
“This win means I can finally put real resources behind the business I’ve been building,” Byfield said. “It also means my family won’t have to worry the way we used to, and that’s the part that means the most to me.”
Chief Executive Officer of Supreme Ventures Gaming, Stefan Miller, congratulated Byfield on the win.
“Moments like these are exactly why we do what we do, to make winners every day!” he said. “We’re thrilled to see another Jamaican life transformed, and we congratulate Byfield on this incredible win.”
Byfield is the second Super Lotto winner for 2026, both from Jamaica.
Super Lotto is played across six Caribbean territories: Jamaica, Barbados, St Kitts & Nevis, Anguilla, Antigua, and St Maarten. Draws are held every Tuesday and Friday at 8:30 pm.
