Israeli Lotto Jackpot Hits Record 40 Million Shekels After No Winner Again

The Israeli Lotto jackpot will reach the maximum prize of 40 million shekels in tonight's draw, with the Double Lotto track offering up to 80 million shekels. This marks the second time in less than two months that the jackpot has hit the top limit, following a series of draws without a first-prize winner. The last draw on Saturday night also failed to produce a jackpot winner, causing the prize to accumulate to the record sum. The previous time the jackpot reached 40 million shekels was at the end of May, after about a year and a half without such a high amount. Back then, an 80-year-old woman won 10 million shekels with a ticket she found on the street. Tonight's draw will see participants hoping to break the streak of no winners and claim the multi-million shekel prize.
