A resident of Israel's Sharon region, a man in his 70s, has claimed a NIS 6 million prize from the "Double Lotto" lottery. This marks the second-highest second-tier prize ever awarded in the lottery's history since the beginning of 2026. The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, discovered his winnings when he visited a lottery vendor to submit his regular ticket for the next draw. The vendor informed him of a prize exceeding NIS 10,000, prompting a visit to the Mifal HaPayis (national lottery) headquarters where the full amount was revealed.
The winner has consistently used the same set of numbers on his Double Lotto ticket, costing NIS 60 weekly, for years. This ticket had previously yielded smaller wins of around NIS 1,000. He described the win as a personal fulfillment, stating, "I always took care of the whole family except myself, and now God is helping me take care of myself for more well-being and peace." Despite his newfound wealth, he plans no drastic changes to his lifestyle, intending to invest the money wisely and continue playing the lottery with his trusted numbers.
The NIS 6 million prize accumulated after three consecutive draws without a second-tier winner, boosting the prize from NIS 3 million. For comparison, the previous record for a second-tier prize in 2026 was NIS 3 million in April, and NIS 2.25 million in March.
