Vilnius recovered a record 13 million. prize in euros: said where to spend the money

He went to the Iki store to buy water.

Manto’s wife usually takes care of the shopping, but one happy Wednesday, the man himself visited the Iki shopping center to buy mineral water. The couple was preparing to travel home on the road, media reported.

“Standing at the box office, I saw a lottery ticket booth and reached for the Vikinglotto Plus ticket. There were only two such tickets left on the grandstand. The first one fell out of my hand as I picked it up, so I took another ticket. It can be said that fate put the lucky ticket in my hands. I also bought a Teleloto ticket.

In general, I buy lottery tickets several times a month, I do not have my lucky numbers or special rituals. The only thing that doesn’t change is that I always buy Vikinglotto Plus tickets instead of Vikinglotto, ”said the winner.

Only after visiting the Delfi news portal on Thursday afternoon did the man learn that the whole of Lithuania was talking about the Baltic record. Vikinglotto Gold Pot is the greatest achievement in almost 30 years, when lotteries are organized in Lithuania.

“After reading that I won at the store I visited, I thought it was an ulcer, maybe my ticket is here. The store is small, so that opportunity really exists. However, I decided that my life could not change in this way and after putting all my thoughts aside, I was busy with day jobs, ”said the Vilnius resident.

He kept the lucky ticket next to the bed

Only in the evening of the day, around 10pm, Mantas and his wife were ready to check their Vikinglotto Plus ticket.

“I checked the ticket Pearls.lt. I entered his number and saw the words “Congratulations!” The first thought was that I made 75 cents again. Then I looked at the amount on the screen – 13 082 472 Eur – and was amazed. I was quick to check the ticket again, then again. My wife and I decided that that could not be the case. As a result, he checked the ticket for the fourth time. This time, by mobile phone. We expected to see a different victory on the phone screen, but that did not happen.

A few minutes passed before we sat next to each other and began to talk. We talked about how our lives and those of our children had completely changed. We went to bed that night only at 1 pm night, ”said the winner with a smile over the ticket check.

The man also laughed that he handled his hugging emotions better than expected, but when he went to bed he left the happy ticket not in his wallet, but instead put it in the bedside drawer by the bed.

The most important task is to invest the profits correctly.

As for where to spend an impressive amount of money, the winner shared that he loves to travel, so he really wants to be able to take trips around the world.

“We have traveled to various countries, but we never dreamed of being able to fly to the Maldives in a private plane. Now, we could afford it,” the man joked.

A Vilnius resident hinted that if he had won a pot of gold with, say, 1 million euros, everything would have been much simpler.

“I’m indescribably happy, but the victory is really great. With a million euros, we would have drunk a house, because there is always something to update at home, and we have made several trips to help the children. Life would have improved, but it would not have changed. Now life will change really drastically. It is very important not only to fulfill the whole family and your dreams. We also have to think and decide which investments to choose. It will be a great job to spend 13 million euros wisely, “he said the record holder.

The man taught that he would not realize for a long time how much he had earned: “We have a house, a car, we can buy the necessary things. I imagine that only when we buy something that generally needs to be saved, will we realize that we have really won. “

And for other players, who would also like to win impressive amounts, Vilnius only had one tip.

“I don’t think it is necessary to buy hundreds of lottery tickets. Winning the lottery is always a coincidence that you will not decide in any way. There is only one” recipe “to win. According to an old and well-known anecdote, to win the lottery first you have to buy a lottery ticket ”, recalled the winner.

Antanas Muraška, CEO of the Olifėja lottery company, which organizes Vikinglotto in Lithuania, also confirmed that an impressive achievement changes lives.
