No claims for nearly $200-m lottery winning

Time is running out for the winners of two lottery games to collect a total of $191 million in prizes.

Supreme Ventures has been seeking to find a Super Lotto millionaire, who purchased a winning ticket at G&E Grocery on Omara Road in Kingston. The person who bought the numbers 10, 14, 16, 25, 27, and Super Ball 5 for $200, won $158.4 million in a draw that took place on November 23.

Another person won $33 million after buying a Lotto ticket with the numbers 7, 8, 17, 18, 26 and 33 at R.E.B. Wholesale in Vineyard Town, Kingston. The winning numbers were drawn on October 27.

With persons having 90 days to collect their prizes, the Super Lotto winner has until February 21, 2019, to claim the prize, while the Lotto winner has until January 25, 2019.

Under the terms of Supreme Ventures' licences, 50 per cent of unclaimed prizes will go to the Betting, Gaming & Lotteries Commission (BGLC), and the remaining 50 per cent go to the CHASE Fund.

Any valid winning ticket presented after the expiration of 90 days may be paid, provided payment is made within 180 days of the draw, after which prizes may be paid only with written approval of the BGLC.
