A resident of the south, a married man and grandfather of many grandchildren, is the winner of the latest lottery in the double lottery with a prize of NIS 76 million.

The winner, who discovered the news this morning (Wednesday) while sitting in his car on the way to work after a long period in which he did not work, told about the shaky moment and what he plans to do with the considerable sum.

"Today I was supposed to go to work that I had just started, after a long period in which I was in the IDF.

I got in the car, and even before I started it, I went into the Lottery app, because I was very interested to know if he would win.

Indeed, I look at the prize basket table and find that there is a single winner in the double lottery.

First thing I thought to myself: 'What fun for the winner ... maybe it's me?'.

I took both forms out of my wallet and started checking.

The first form did not yield any winnings, however - in the second form I had all six numbers including the strongest number. "

The amount of the prize won by a single person is the highest since 2009, and the winner insisted on coming to collect it in the presence of the whole family.

On his way to the lottery he decided that he would distribute the winnings equally among his children so that they could purchase apartments without taking out loans and a mortgage.

In addition, the family plans to go on a long and pampering vacation abroad. "The kids want Thailand, but I'm more in the direction of the United States," says the winner. "What seems to me, we will do not one trip but two," he said.
