Last week, Lithuania was disappointed with the good news: our compatriot won more than 13 million in the Vikinglotto lottery. euros. After earning such an amount, the Lithuanian immediately became one of the richest inhabitants of the country. It turns out that there are many more lottery millionaires in Lithuania.
Three millionaires after the introduction of the euro
Olifėja sent tv3.lt a list of the greatest achievements since the introduction of the euro. The last time a record player beat a Lithuanian player was almost six years ago, in May 2015. At that time, the Eurojackpot lottery ticket purchased in Kaunas brought the player more than 7.6 million. EUR amount.
Just over a year later, the owner of a Vikinglotto ticket purchased in Vilnius in June 2016 received more than 1.1 million. Amount.
In October 2018, the Telelot Gold Pot was won in Lithuania. Two players from Klaipeda and Nida shared more than 1.1 million. EUR amount.
While millions more have not been won in the Olifėja lottery, the summer of 2016 also appears to have been generous. After buying a Teleloto ticket in Šiauliai in June, the player won more than 875 thousand. euros. At the end of August, the ticket bought in Vilnius brought in almost 900 thousand. euros.
„Olipea has been operating for 28 years. We estimate that prior to the introduction of the euro in 2015, 64 Teleloto players won pots of gold of LTL 1 million or more. Since 2015, winnings of more than 1 million euros went to 3 players. This figure does not include another achievement worth mentioning separately. This is Teleloto’s 1.16 million euro pot of gold, which in 2018 shared by 2 Teleloto players.
Since 2015 We have fewer millionaires, because after the introduction of the euro, Teleloto’s Gold Pot grows less frequently than before, ”says Antanas Muraška, CEO of Olifėja.
Fear of safety
There is not much information about the winners online. This may be due to the fact that large winners often choose not to reveal their identities and not provide more information to the public.
“To our knowledge, none of the winners of the millions and other large cash prizes have publicly revealed their identities. The Lottery Law gives players the right to choose whether they want to protect the privacy of their winnings. If a person chooses not disclose your identity, lottery organizers must protect your privacy.
This is because the greatest achievements change people’s lives and the publicity of victory would be an additional challenge, so that choice is not surprising. Also, people traditionally fear security, ”says A. Muraška.
Oleg Mackevich, a gambling supervisor, cites similar reasons: anxiety leads to nondisclosure.
“Why wouldn’t you want to reveal it? It’s to protect yourself from some kind of evil, maybe it’s a lack of confidence. I’d be eager to discover some of these relatives that I haven’t seen in half my life. Still, it’s a great deal and it causes a lot of anxiety ”, thinks O. Mackevič.
The winner did not seek help
O. Mackevič, previously interviewed by tv3.lt, commented that earning a large sum of money can make life more difficult. Suddenly becoming a millionaire can be difficult to handle psychologically, and there can also be a lack of financial knowledge on how to handle money. Therefore, experts recommend seeking help.
According to the expert, it would be helpful to speak with a psychologist and an economist. A psychologist would help you deal with the emotions that assail you, and an economist would help you evaluate the possibilities of investing money.
The lottery company sends similar offers to the winners. Olifėja CEO A. Muraška promoted the latest winner even earlier, 13 million. owner of the euro, seek help.
“Coping with embracing emotions and managing that amount is really difficult. Such success will take time to get used to, which is why we remember and offer psychological help and financial expert services to all grand prize winners. Oliphies the work does not end with the division of profits alone. We want the winners to feel good, to be happy, to become familiar with the most important aspects of financial management. In other words, you can enjoy success in every way and without stress, ”said A. Muraška.
The portal tv3.lt asked if the new millionaire had already requested help. Because the Lottery Law states that lottery participants can choose not to reveal their identities, the winner could not be contacted directly. A. Muraška says that so far the winner has not asked the lottery organizer for help.
“It just came to our attention then. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm whether the winner has chosen to use these services. We also assure all winners that we are ready to help them long after winning,” comments A. Muraška.
