Lucky ticket holder wins €1.1 million jackpot

The Super 5 jackpot of €1,120,328.40 has been won this evening, Maltco Lotteries announced this evening.

The lucky ticket holder purchased the ticket from Gzira.

Today’s draw also set police officers on high alert as frequent patrols in the vicinity of Maltco branches across Malta were ordered.

Although it is customary for members of the Rapid Intervention Unit to monitor all lotto booths during opening hours, the rounds increase as the jackpot reaches high figures.

Naturally, the higher the jackpot the more people play increasing the cash at every branch. In itself, this increases pressure on the police to prevent hold-ups and ensure that both owners and clients are safe from any foul play.
