Channeling his best ‘Bob Marley’ ensemble, A. Pryce was over the moon to finally collect his J$342 million Super Lotto jackpot at a fanfare-filled ceremony held at the Spanish Court Hotel on Friday (March 1).

Pryce credited intuition as his inspiration for selecting a set of numbers for his Super Lotto ticket, which he luckily won late last year. The winning ticket was bought in Hanover with the numbers being 01, 10, 23, 25, 35 and 07.

With this kind of money, I have to give back.”
