Rapidly gaining popularity in Asia, Lottoland announced their first jackpot winner, Shaji Matthew from Kerala, India, who walked away with a massive Rs. 3.3 crore.
“When I first saw the email and received the call from Lottoland, I thought it was a prank. "It was only after the process started that it started to sink in,” said Shaji in an interview. Still struggling to comprehend the vast fortune of his win, he added, “When I first saw the amount, I thought it was Rs. 33 lakh. It wasn’t until later when I was told it’s an 8-digit figure and Rs. 3.3 crore!”
Shaji spun his way to the jackpot on the Atlantis Casino game – a simple underwater theme online slot game. When asked what he plans to do with his winnings, Shaji said, “I was in a shock. It’s a life-changing amount of money for me and my family. For now, I’ve invested the money into a joint account with my wife and I’ll save some for my children’s college fund. We also plan to finish the build of our new house and move in next year.”
A Lottoland representative said, “We are very happy with the rapid progress in our journey. Not too long ago, we were celebrating our first Lakhpati at Lottoland.asia and now we’re ushering in our first crorepati with Shaji and his family.”
The representative added, “We’ve been made aware that Shaji plans to help a local orphanage near his village with some of his winnings. To hear someone will be so selfless with their money is fantastic and we couldn’t be happier that Shaji was our jackpot winner.”
Shaji has now completed the quick and easy verification process with Lottoland and has had the money deposited into his bank account.
When asked on whether Shaji had any words of advice for those thinking about joining Lottoland, he said, “It’s an opportunity to win. Personally, I will continue, especially with this week’s Powerball jackpot crossing Rs.5000 crore. I certainly don’t want to lose out by not playing!”
