If you didn’t already believe in beginner’s luck, this story of a Qatari man who hit the jackpot playing the Philippines Lotto after only a month on TheLotter just might convince you. We couldn’t wait to talk to A.I.A. in order to congratulate him on his big win and find out how he made it all happen. Read on to find out all about this jackpot winner’s story and what he plans to do with his huge winnings – you might even pick up a few lottery tips!

Note: Philippines lotteries are currently unavailable at TheLotter.

Beating the odds to win the jackpot

A.I.A. told us that he started playing on TheLotter in February 2022 after reading about us online. After that, he didn’t have to wait very long because on 5 March 2022 he matched all six numbers to win a Philippines Lotto jackpot of US$241,325 – approximately €220k!

He beat the 1 in 5 million odds with these lucky numbers: 11, 18, 33, 34, 36, 39. When we called A.I.A. with the good news he said, “I’m so happy and my wife is so happy too!”

Hear what our winner had to say about the exciting win:

Playing to win

Even though A.I.A. has only been on TheLotter for a short time, he’s made full use of all the features the site has on offer. A.I.A. has played with subscriptions, multi-draw packages, and syndicate entries. Still, hard as it is to believe, his jackpot win came from a regular ticket.

A good plan for the jackpot money

It’s clear that the money will be put to very good use. When we asked what he planned to do with his winnings, A.I.A. responded, “I will pay my loans and I will support my family.”

But A.I.A. also told us he was nowhere near done with playing the lottery on TheLotter. His favourite lottery to play has been the Germany lotto and his new lottery dream is to win the Philippines Super Lotto. In fact, he told us that after winning the jackpot he purchased more than 1,000 lines for the Philippines Super Lotto.

A jackpot worth playing for

The Philippines Lotto may not be the most well-known lottery out there, but there’s a reason jackpot winners like A.I.A. like it so much.

Players only have to match six numbers to take the top prize and the lottery has absolutely no jackpot cap. Back in August 2016, this little lottery gave out a prize worth €1.9 million.

That’s the joy of playing the lottery online: you can pick and choose games from all around the world! To find the right lottery for you and see if you can join A.I.A. as one of our millions of winners, purchase lottery tickets!

One man’s amazing road to wealth… In the spring of 2015 M. opened an online lottery account at TheLotter from his home in Iraq – three months on he’d won a lottery jackpot of $6.4 million in the US! Loads of people all over the world are following the footsteps of the famous man from Baghdad and have started playing international top lotteries online, like the US Powerball!

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 a woman from Panama named Aura who scooped up a giant Florida Lotto jackpot worth $30 million USD in July 2017. She became an overnight sensation in Central America. Over the years, TheLotter has paid out over $100 million in prizes to more than 6 million winners from across the globe.

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, 2015.

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.”

Jackpot Winner Fears for His Life, Pleads for His Name Not to Be Revealed

After careful preparation in the autumn, M. flew to Oregon to claim his millions in December. He requested that TheLotter and the Oregon Lottery keep his name confidential because of safety concerns. “The situation in Iraq is not good. It’s very dangerous. If my name were revealed, it would be a big problem.”

Oregon Lottery director Jack Roberts agreed to the unusual request. “The personal safety risk that he and his family might face seems stronger than the public interest of knowing who the person is,” Roberts told local media. “I don’t want to read that somebody has been kidnapped or killed because we announce them as a Megabucks winner.”

How Can a Foreigner Play the Lottery in the United States?

So how did he do it? How did M. participate in a US lottery from Iraq?

M. played US lotteries online through TheLotter, a worldwide messenger service that was established in 2002. Through TheLotter people can request somebody to physically purchase lottery tickets on their behalf, even when they are outside of the country or state where the lottery takes place. TheLotter doesn’t operate lotteries, but its local reps in more than 20 countries across the world purchase official paper tickets and make a scanned copy available in online players’ secure personal accounts. TheLotter enables people to play the Mega Millions, play the US Powerball, and play the EuroMillions lotteries and a host of other draws from anywhere in the world.

Is it Legal to Play the Lottery Online?

I. Nelson Rose, the eminent professor of law at the Whittier Law School in California, said in the New York Times article about the Iraqi lottery winner that TheLotter’s method of providing official lottery tickets to online participants is “100 percent legal”.

Other media outlets, such as CBS, the Daily Mail, and NBC, also reported that it was perfectly legal for foreigners to win American lottery prizes by purchasing official tickets online at TheLotter. This was confirmed officially by the Oregon Lottery: their exact words were that “the system is ingenious”. The method is allowed, because TheLotter’s clients do not actually play online. They merely request that the service’s reps physically go out to buy official paper tickets on their behalf.

M.’s future, and the future of his children, looks bright. Whilst he had a hard time believing it was real when he first signed up in the spring, after his win he said that “TheLotter was trustworthy and the real deal as everyone on staff was so helpful in getting the prize claimed”.

Asked if he was going to continue to buy lottery tickets: “I’m going to continue to play every day!”

* Note: since M. from Iraq won his American jackpot, and in addition to the woman from Panama who won the $30 million Florida Lotto jackpot, TheLotter has seen a Canadian customer, an Australian, a man from the UK, and a man from El Salvador each win $1 million in the US Powerball; and a woman from Ukraine win $1 million playing US Mega Millions; all of them by ordering their tickets online.

Our Winner

E.S. lives with his wife in Monterrey, Mexico and assured us that she was going to be the first to whom he would tell the good news. “She’s going to be so excited!“

E.S. also told us that he has been working for more than six years as an employee in an important food company, has no children, and that he already has plans for his prize: “Pay some debts, go on some little trips, vacation, and see what else can be done. Maybe invest the money.”

Does Our Winner Have Any Lucky Numbers?

E.S. confided that he usually plays with random numbers and that he prefers to choose the numbers himself according to the feeling of the moment instead of using the Quick Pick feature. “There are some numbers that I usually repeat, but as there are three lines, it is ultimately random. As there are many numbers, I do not choose any repeatedly. I have no secret.”

Success in Austria EuroMillions

A.C., a veteran player at TheLotter, had been playing EuroMillions regularly but only recently switched from playing the Spanish version to Austria EuroMillions. Why the change?

“We did that because we were winning more [in that version],” A.C. told us, speaking on his wife’s behalf as well. He also said that if he had won the EuroMillions jackpot, it would be easier for them to travel from Luxembourg to Austria to collect the prize.

One savvy systematic player cashed major prizes in some of TheLotter’s biggest lotteries – €578K playing in Italy’s SuperEnalotto, €112K in the Spanish La Primitiva— all in the course of one lucky year!

Man Plays Lotteries Online and Keeps Winning Non-Stop

A.K. from Latvia, enjoyed a phenomenal 2013, chock-full of big lottery wins from draws held all over the world. A.K.’s biggest win came at the beginning of the year, with a massive €578,000 (approximately US$ 778,000) win in the 26 January 2013 SuperStar draw! In the La Primitiva draw on 23 June 2013, A.K. won a €90,722.31 second place prize and other smaller wins that boosted his prize total in the draw to €110,071.17!

These big wins were in addition to multiple lottery prizes A.K. won over the course of the year, including a a hearty $10,000 pay-day by playing Canada Lotto 649’s draw on 6 April. Just a few weeks later he took home a $2,318 La Primitiva prize in the 25 April draw. Before the end of that same month he scooped up yet another prize – €4,926 in the exciting France Loto. This marked the first time that a TheLotter player managed to score so many amazing wins in a single year! A.K. isn’t the only one to win multiple prizes though. There have been numerous winners who have repeatedly won huge lottery prizes . While for many, it’s simply luck of the draw, several serial winners do have prize-winning strategies that actually work!

The Best Strategy for Winning Online Lottery Prizes – a Formula for Success

So what is the secret to the Latvian lottery champion’s success? The answer lies in his use of systematic forms, which have yielded him great results; he has won hundreds of thousands of euros in online lotteries. Since 2009, A.K. has been playing it global online with TheLotter from his native Latvia and, up until his SuperEnalotto Superstar win he collected a total of 1,248 wins on the site – a number which is rising fast!

The stellar combination of winning numbers, thanks to the systematic form A.K. used, gave a sensational €578,079.25 (over $777,000) in total prizes when the lucky numbers were pulled in the SuperEnalotto! In his June La Primitiva win, A.K. purchased a 9-number systematic form and was able to match five regular numbers with 84 lines. 

What a SuperStar! Online Lotto Winner Won the SuperEnalotto SuperStar!

A.K. played the Italian SuperStar lottery, but what exactly is the difference between the SuperStar and the SuperEnalotto? In short: not an awful lot. The two are merely different sides of the same coin. A coin worth millions, that is.
The Italy SuperStar builds on SuperEnalotto’s prize structure by adding an extra eight prize categories giving a total of 13 ways to win. The SuperStar, a powerful additional number, adds €2 million onto the SuperEnalotto jackpot prize, €1 million onto the second prize, and multiplies the third, fourth and fifth SuperEnalotto prize categories by between 25 and 100 times. Had A.K.’s SuperStar selection of the number 11 come up, the combined prize winning powers inherent in both the SuperStar and a systematic form of nine numbers would have further increased the pay-out, making A.K. a lotto multi-millionaire.

How Does a Systematic Form for a Lottery Work?

Here is a breakdown of how A.K.’s super systematic form (also known in some countries as a “system form”) produced such a big prize haul in the Italian SuperStar lotto:

• One match 5 + 1 line for the SuperStar 4th Prize, worth €479,123.39
• Three match 5 lines for the SuperStar 6th Prize, worth €29,945.22 each, €89,835.66 total
• Thirty match 4 lines for the SuperStar 8th Prize, worth €284.34 each, €8530.20 total
• Forty match 3 lines for the SuperStar 10th Prize, worth €14.75 each, €590 total
• 74 winning lines gave a combined total of €578,079.25 in prizes in the 2013/12 SuperStar draw

As one of the world’s top ranking lotteries, Italy SuperStar can be found shoulder-to-shoulder with the well-known SuperEnalotto. To learn more, read our guide to the SuperEnalotto.

What Is The Secret Behind His Lucky Numbers?

We were intrigued to find out how he chose the numbers and eager for some advice. During our interview, A.F. told us that he had favourite numbers which he played regularly, but the mandatory Powerball number did not allow for him to play with all of them – so he set out to change up his strategy.

A.F.’s numbers: 11, 13, 15, 17, 63 and 13

The winning numbers: 11, 13, 15, 17, 63 and 13

While it’s true that the only obstacle between A.F. and the US$156 million jackpot was just a single number, we definitely need to acknowledge that his strategy works, in that his good intuition helped him match a majority of the draw’s winning numbers!

Making the difference

When the TheLotter Group team gave him the good news, Jorge explained that he chose to play with our platform because lottery prizes in Uruguay are small and they rarely change people’s lives. With his new million-dollar prize, Jorge, who works in the real estate construction sector, plans to buy two or three rental apartments and continue working with greater peace of mind and financial freedom.

“I just hope I haven’t spent all my life’s luck today!”

The million-dollar opportunity

TheLotter Group values its customers and is always eager to hear about their experience on the platform. We asked the winner for his opinion on our service, and he was full of nothing but praise. He described the “great” and “democratic” opportunity that theLotter Group offers people outside of Europe and the US to participate in the biggest lotteries in the world from the comfort of their homes – and he doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon!

“I couldn’t believe it because at first I thought I had won US$620. When I saw the email, I realized it was US$620,000 and then I called my wife and she was even more excited than me!”
