This holiday will be especially festive for St. Elizabeth resident A. Reid, who has claimed the J$162 million Super Lotto jackpot, bringing an early Christmas gift to him and his family.
Having previously come within a number or two of winning, Reid’s persistence finally paid off with the winning numbers 11, 19, 24, 25, 33, and Super Ball 5. He has now secured the life-changing jackpot that promises to transform his family’s future well beyond the festive season.
Reid plans to distribute a significant portion of his winnings among his children and within his community.
“This win is about more than just the money; it’s bigger than me,” Reid said. “I will use this money to provide for my children and to finally buy a house. I will also be giving back to my community through the church and the schools. I always try to give back from the little that I have, so now that I have more money, it means I can give more. Winning this money isn’t really about me; I will definitely be using most of it to help others.”
He is the fourth Super Lotto jackpot winner this year. In March, a businessman took home J$163 million, and in August, a retiree won J$236.5 million in the Super Lotto jackpot. The other Super Lotto jackpot win was in St. Maarten, where the player won J$294 million, also in August.
“This latest win reflects the ongoing excitement of Super Lotto,” said Kamal Powell, head of marketing at Supreme Ventures Limited. “We continue to see life-changing moments for players in Jamaica and across the region. Each win is a testament to the dreams we help make real for numerous families.”
The multi-jurisdictional game is currently played in six Caribbean countries: Jamaica, Barbados, St. Kitts & Nevis, Anguilla, Antigua, and St. Maarten. Draws take place every Tuesday and Friday at 8:30 pm.
