Note: M. was the first online lottery player at theLotter to be featured in the international press but there have been other big lottery winners at theLotter since, including late 2017 when a woman from Panama named Aura scooped up a giant US jackpot worth $30 million. She became an overnight sensation in Central America.
Driving in Baghdad, He Got a Phone Call that Changed his Life
"Are you sure? Are you sure?!" -- M., a 37-year-old father from Baghdad in Iraq, kept repeating the question when he got the phone call with the news he had won the $6.4 million jackpot in the Oregon Megabucks on 24 August.
M. had only started playing lotteries in the US and Europe through theLotter three months before he won. "It was a shock. At first, I thought it was a joke. I was driving in my car, I was going to the bank… so I get a call from theLotter, from a great person called Christine, and she told me the great news, so I was in shock! I suspected I’d won something, but had no idea it was the jackpot."
