A res­i­dent of West Trinidad is the coun­try's lat­est mul­ti­mil­lion­aire hav­ing re­cent­ly won the $18,044,066.08 Lot­to Plus jack­pot.

The win­ner was in­ter­viewed by the NL­CB af­ter col­lect­ing his prize mon­ey. He said on Sat­ur­day, 1st Feb­ru­ary, he was struck by an over­whelm­ing feel­ing that he had to play. He said he went to Chris­t­ian’s Mi­ni Mart in Bourg Mu­la­tresse and pur­chased Quick Picks.

How­ev­er, as he left,  he didn't re­alise his tick­ets had slipped from his pock­et and scat­tered on the ground. Luck­i­ly he rushed back to the Lot­tery Cen­tre, where he found the tick­ets still ly­ing on the pave­ment.
