PHILIPSBURG:— Friday, July 16, 2021: The random car which was parked in his yard a year ago, can now be viewed as a foreshadowing of A.B.’s recent $16,166 win with the Caribbean Lottery’s Pick 4 game.
“A year ago, a car with the number plate 1367 was parked in my yard. The number stood out to me because it signified something very meaningful in my life. Since then, I have been playing these numbers with no luck, but I still continued to play frequently.”
This special interest finally claimed the substantial Pick 4 cash prize a week ago. A.B. made the winning bet on July 7 at the Caribbean Lottery’s dealer, Miss Bauble, next to the Fairway Supermarket.
“I borrowed a family member’s vehicle to run an errand for someone and was asked to put $10 gas in the vehicle. Instead, I decided to try my luck again and buy some numbers,” explained Mr. A.B.
With this win, A.B. will no longer be borrowing a car to run errands or watch random cars parked in his yard. His earnings will help him to purchase a motor vehicle of his own.
“Since I no longer have a car, this win will give me the opportunity to purchase a vehicle, hopefully, take a little vacation, and put some money on the bank for a rainy day.”
Miss Paula Williams, Site Operations Manager for the Caribbean Lottery in St. Maarten congratulated the Pick 4 winner: “A.B’s win is well deserved. He believed in the game and kept at it and now his dedication has made him our newest Pick 4 winner. We wish him more success in playing our games in the future.”
