The latest Lotto millionaire is counting his win at the Lotto jackpot as a blessing which came in the nick of time.
A man named W. Brown bought the winning lottery ticket at the Di Endz Sports Bar in May Pen, Clarendon earlier this month and secured the $95 million jackpot.
He said that he does not regularly buy from tickets that place, he usually purchases his tickets from the Old Harbour or Spanish Town, but this time, he was on the road, so he just stopped there and bought a ticket.
Brown also said that he bought the same set of numbers with a few replacements over the past two decades saying that they were inspired by ‘rakes’ and meanings which he came across.
He said that he always knew that he would win the Lotto jackpot and it would change his life for the better.
He added that life has always been very rough for him. He comes from a poor family, sometimes he could not attend school because my parents did not have money for it, but he told myself that God will help him one day so that he can help his family.
Brown told that he found out about his jackpot win while he was watching the live draw on the Television.
He said that he wrote down the numbers and saw that he had won, he was excited and said he finally did it and then he took a shower and slept.
Brown added that he has not told many people about his winnings but is still thinking of a few things which he wants to do with his winnings which amount to $95 million.
He said that he wants to decide what would be the best thing to do before he spends anything. He needs to decide what are his goals, but he knows that he wants to own a bus.
He concluded by saying that he would buy a house and would make some investments.
