What happened

  1. 01An Israeli man won 64 million shekels in the Double Lotto lottery and claimed his prize on Sunday, October 11, 2026.
  2. 02The winner discovered his jackpot after scanning his 66-shekel ticket on the Mifal HaPayis mobile application.

  5. 05He recently lost his father and purchased a Torah scroll in his memory.
  6. 06The man chooses his lottery numbers randomly and only plays when the jackpots reach exceptionally high amounts.

Upon seeing the staggering sum, the man initially doubted his eyes, rubbed them several times, and took a screenshot of his phone to verify the win. He decided to keep the life-changing news a secret from his wife for several hours, asking her to accompany him to the lottery headquarters under the pretense of attending an important meeting. While he went inside to finalize the prize claim, his wife waited near their car, entirely unaware of the jackpot.

The winner, who lost his father in the past year, shared that he had purchased a Torah scroll in his memory. He is a regular donor to the needy and plans to use his newfound wealth to significantly increase his charitable contributions. Despite the massive financial windfall, he emphasized that happiness is independent of wealth, describing his lottery habit as simply buying excitement.
