A single ticket holder in Israel has won a staggering 64 million shekels in the national lottery's Double Lotto draw held Tuesday night. This prize is among the largest in the history of Israeli lotto, accumulating over ten consecutive draws without a first-prize winner. The maximum possible prize in the Double Lotto can reach up to 80 million shekels.
The winning numbers for the regular Lotto were 2, 4, 6, 13, 18, and 25, with the "strong number" being 6. While no one matched all numbers in the standard Lotto draw, the single Double Lotto ticket successfully matched all six main numbers plus the strong number, instantly making its owner a multi-millionaire.
Even those who came close did not leave empty-handed. One participant in the regular Lotto draw correctly guessed all six main numbers but missed the strong number, winning 750,000 shekels. Additionally, dozens of other winners were recorded across lower prize tiers.
In total, prizes exceeding 73.5 million shekels were distributed across the Double Lotto, regular Lotto, and Extra draws. The large jackpot resulted from a prolonged period without a top winner, allowing the prize to grow to 32 million shekels in the regular Lotto and double that amount in the Double Lotto. Following this significant payout, the first prize for the next draw resets to its starting amount.
