Mahapola Lotto Corporate Communications Manager Harshini Sirinanda handing over the cheque to the second Jackpot Winner Ruwan Sirimanne Sri Lankan lotteries innovator Mahapola Lotto has already awarded two Rs. 4 million jackpots in less than a year, with the first awarded in July 2014 and the most recent in February 2015. The Rs. 4 million jackpot was won by Ruwan Sirimanne from Maharagama, a storekeeper at a private sector company who played his lucky numbers of 12, 14, 57 and 65. Interestingly, Sirimanne had played virtually the same numbers the day before since he had a strong feeling that these were destined to win. It is also noteworthy that the winning M Lotto ticket was also purchased from a Mahapola Lotto kiosk in Sirimanne’s hometown of Maharagama and that it was this dealer, for whom Sirimanne is a regular customer, who initially alerted him to the fact that the numbers he chose might have won. Sirimanne won the M Lotto jackpot at a time of need as he was paying for his grandmother’s medical expenses. He was finding it difficult to cope with the rising expenses and this win came at a crucial juncture, allowing him to help his family. Additionally, this is already the second M Lotto jackpot winner in under a year, with the first much-needed Rs. 4 million jackpot having been awarded to a State employee from Rajagiriya. Furthermore, the first M Lotto winning ticket was sold at a Mahapola Lottery kiosk operated by a differently-abled youth. Speaking further, Mahapola Lotto Corporate Communications Manager Harshini Sirinanda said: “We are happy that Mr. Sirimanne, the second Mahapola Lotto Jackpot winner of Rs. 4 million in less than a year, has received this well-deserved prize money at a time when his family needs it the most, having been faced with several recent medical expenses. In a similar vein, Mahapola Lotto will continue its commitment to uplifting the lives of all Sri Lankans, whether through awarding prize money, providing entrepreneurial opportunities or contributing to national educational scholarships.”
