Call for Mega 6 winner to come forward

The Barbados Lottery has asked the winner of a Mega 6 Jackpot of $965 000 to come forward.

The winning Mega 6 ticket was purchased from The Barbados Lottery Retail Agent Rhonann’s in Code One Plaza, St James, for Draw # 4632 on Saturday, December 5, 2020.

A statement from Barbados Lottery said this Quick Pick ticket matched all six numbers drawn: 05-07-17-29-30-32.

“We have been waiting for some time and being aware of the recent Government mandated restrictions, provisions were made to facilitate additional time for the winner to claim their winnings,” Ferdinand Lord, Site Operations Manager, said in the statement.

The winner has until March 31, 2021 to claim the prize and as of Thursday, March 18, no one has yet come forward with the winning ticket.

Lord has asked everyone to check their tickets.

“If you have the winning ticket, we encourage you to sign your ticket, put it in a safe place, and come in to our Independence Square Retail ‘Flagship’ Store in Bridgetown to claim your prize as soon as possible.”

The three most recent Mega 6 jackpot prizes of $1.5 million, $385 000 and $400 000 were paid out in June, July and August 2020, respectively.

Proceeds from The Barbados Lottery games, including Mega 6, support the many sports, youth and cultural programmes provided by beneficiaries: The Barbados Cricket Association, The Barbados Turf Club, The Barbados Olympic Association and National Sports Council. (PR)
