WHILE the country was abuzz with general election fever, an Arima man's life was changed forever when he picked the correct numbers to win the National Lotteries Control Board's (NLCB) Lotto Jackpot of $14,003,989.74 on April 26.

A NLCB press release said the man is a long-time Lotto player who played his numbers at Chez Marten Restaurant & Bar on Tumpuna Road, Guanapo, Arima.

Raised in Port of Spain, and now a resident of Arima, this winner has been married for over 40 years and living a life grounded in simplicity, humility and faith. With no children of his own, the man told the NLCB he has always found joy in quiet moments and a deep commitment to helping others, especially the youths.
