PHILIPSBURG:— Two lucky players are now celebrating their substantial wins after playing the Caribbean Lottery’s Pick 4 game recently. Alberto Richardson, who won $40,820 in October 2020, struck gold again two Fridays ago, with a whopping win of $161, 660.
Like any other Friday, Richardson went to the Retail Office to purchase his tickets for the daily draws. While waiting, he asked the clerk, with a smile on his face, to check his recently purchased tickets.
With great enthusiasm, the cashier reported that Mr. Richardson was the lucky winner of a dazzling $161,660.
“Playing with the Caribbean Lottery gives me great joy,” said the happy winner. “The games are easy and I love the fact that you can play big and win big!”
The repeat big winner had purchased his winning tickets approximately a week earlier at the Shell Bushroad Gas Station, but he only came to redeem them last Friday. When asked why he took this long to redeem his winnings, Richardson replied, “I know that my winnings are safe with the Caribbean Lottery and I will be paid when I present my tickets.”
He disclosed that the money will propel him a step closer to becoming a homeowner, and encouraged others to continue playing the game.
“This win will allow me to fulfill my dreams and start building my dream home,” he said. “To those out there playing this game, just play how you feel to play. You don’t always have to purchase specific numbers to be a winner.”
Another terrific win of $55,205 came for a second player, Mr. K. Fleming, who made two separate bets on the same numbers in one day. He related how the numbers were chosen:
“Yesterday morning, while collecting some material, a friend from an establishment said ‘Wow, that’s a nice number. It’s going to play in the Midday draw today.’ I smiled and said, ‘No, how would you know that, you’re just joking!’ That number happens to be my license plate.
“After leaving the establishment, I decided to stop at the nearest Caribbean Lottery location and purchased the number. I wagered $10 for the Midday drawing. Around 12:30 I felt the urge to stop and wager some more. I visited another agent location in the vicinity and wagered an additional $50 on the same number.
“I got up this morning to check my tickets, but I could not believe my eyes. After checking them over and over, I decided to ask my wife for her assistance. She then confirmed it by screaming, ‘BABY, YOU WON!!!’
“Even though the number played second place, I am so utterly grateful that today, I, Mr. K Fleming, am now $55,205 richer.”
The winning tickets were purchased at Sol Madame Estate and Wing Li Supermarket. The excited winner stated that it was an unexpected windfall, but he would put it to good use.
“I am elated as it was very unexpected, but it is greatly appreciated. This win will help me to make my plans for the future become reality and I can save some of the earnings for a rainy day.”
Ms. Paula Williams, Site Operations Manager at the Caribbean Lottery extended hearty congratulations to both gentlemen: “It is very reassuring when our players believe in our products and have faith in our business. We are glad that Mr. Richardson and Mr. Fleming were able to benefit in a big way from playing our Pick 4 game. On behalf of the Caribbean Lottery, we wish them much success with their winnings.”
