Masked and Rich: Million Dollar Lottery Winner Keeps Identity Under Wraps!

Published
Mr. A.C (State Media)

A mysterious figure known as “Mr. AC” has donned his best disguise to claim the title of Antigua and Barbuda’s first Super Lotto jackpot winner, pocketing an impressive EC$4.35 million.

It seems a little incognito never hurt anyone, especially when it comes to collecting millions!

Presented with his crown jewels (aka the oversized check) at the Antigua and Barbuda Hospitality Training Institute, Mr. AC has truly made it big, albeit under the cloak of anonymity.

He matched numbers 1, 6, 10, 12, 23, and Super Ball 9 on May 13 with a ticket purchased at none other than Bridgette’s Bar

A loyal player since Super Lotto’s inception, Mr. AC has been rocking the same lucky numbers for 16 years. Talk about commitment!

With the game played twice a week across seven territories and a starting jackpot that kicks off at US$1.5 million, it’s no wonder the Super Lotto has been dishing out over US$65 million in prizes since its launch.

    Bique-Charles is just too dramatic for me and so! However she makes news fun and exciting to read. Mr AC congratulations my guy. And as you should. Keep your identity hidden from even your household and your police brother that is letting everyone know that you won the lottery
