A father of four from southern Israel has won the Israeli National Lottery’s top prize of 10 million shekels, marking a life-changing moment after nearly a year of reserve duty, Arutz Sheva reported.
The man, in his 50s, said he has been serving continuously since October 7, 2023. He explained that he has long played the same series of numbers, each tied to family members, and that this time they finally paid off.
He recalled learning of his winnings directly from the lottery stand. “The franchisee told me right away that I won a lot and to come to the National Lottery’s main offices. He showed me how to scan the form with the app, and together we realized the amount was 10 million shekels,” he said.
