A Joker lottery ticket played at a Nicosia agency turned one lucky Cypriot into a millionaire, claiming a prize of €4,229,300.85, lottery officials announced.
The winning ticket was placed at the Stavros Papastavrou lottery agency in Latsia, a suburb of the capital city, bringing a record windfall to the unidentified winner. Local residents are buzzing with excitement, with many calling it one of the largest Joker lottery prizes awarded in Cyprus this year.
With the jackpot reset, the next Joker draw on Thursday promises a minimum prize of €1 million for top-category winners.
