Kingston, Jamaica – A massive $229 million Lotto jackpot has a new owner, marking the first Lotto mega millionaire of 2025.
The winning numbers—5, 8, 11, 17, 27, 30—were drawn on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. The winner, a mother of several high school-aged children, revealed her shock upon realizing she had won.
“I still can’t believe it’s real,” she said during the official presentation of her winnings. “I usually have a specific set of numbers that I buy, but this time I bought a quick pick ticket instead. When I checked the numbers in the morning, I had to keep checking and checking to make sure my eye wasn’t fooling me! It’s still sinking in that this is actually happening to me.”
The jackpot winner outlined her plans for the life-changing prize. “First thing I’m going to do is buy a car,” she said. “But more importantly, I want to make sure my children’s education is completely covered. This money means I don’t have to worry about sending them to university when the time comes.”
Stefan Miller, acting chief executive officer of Supreme Ventures Gaming, welcomed the winner to the Lotto millionaire club. “We recognise that when our winners hit the jackpot, those winnings change not only their lives but often have a positive ripple effect in their families and communities. It’s especially heartwarming to hear how the winner plans to use these funds to invest in her family’s future and her children’s education. Congratulations to her, and we wish her every success!”
