Kevin Henderson receiving his cheque from Dominica Lotteries Commission

Kevin C Henderson, of Bagatelle, is now a happier and richer man after winning $230,000 from the Dominica Lotteries Commission.

The 37 year old employee of the Dominica Air and Sea Port Authority who has been in the first super six winners since 2010, achieved his dream through perseverance and a lucky quick pick number.

‘I feel very happy it’s a while since I’ve been playing and I have always felt that one day I would win but I didn’t really think that would come true, now that it has I feel very, very happy’. an elated Henderson told the media moments after being handed his cheque.

Henderson also urged lotto players to continue playing the games at the Dominica Lotteries Commission.

Meantime Dominica Lotteries Commission official, Ken George, has appealed to members of the public to claim their prizes after playing.

‘I am making an appeal to the public that for the past three years there has been over $500,000 worth of unclaimed prizes so we urge you when you play the games look at the numbers and claim your prizes’.

He said since the inception of the game Dominica has won the largest jackpot of over $630,000.

The super six game assists in twenty-20 tournaments, inter-school tournament, and plans are underway to revive the Windward Islands football tournament being sponsored by the super six territories.

    Congratulations! You are one lucky person. As the saying, “Your ship finally came in!” :lol: Keep in mind, “Penny wise. Pound foolish.” In this case, cents and dollars. :) Spend it wisely.
    Also, “Relatives and friends are plenty when the purse is full.” Know who were your genuine relatives and friends prior to winning this jackpot. Those who would have helped you if you were in need of.
    As a further word of advice (not that you probably do not know), give some to your church, charity and someone or some people you know who are in dire need of, whatever you feel you can afford. As St. Paul said: “…For God loves a cheerful giver.” He will also bless you for that. Keep some for yourself and safe in the bank as well for rainy days.
    God bless you and with wisdom to spend your winnings wisely and to enjoy it!

      Do we not all? There are a number of people, right here in Canada who wish that they would win the jackpot or some of it. Those who won it are fortunate. He is to be envied but in a nice way. I wish him good luck and many, many happy and healthy years to enjoy his winning.
