🇲🇹 Lottoland Winner from Gozo: €750,000 Jackpot!

A Gozo resident made headlines when he scooped a €750,000 jackpot playing the VIP Black scratchcard on Lottoland. Known only as “Mr L.”, he described the moment as surreal, saying he had to refresh his screen multiple times before realising it was real.

“I was shaking,” he admitted in an interview. He plans to use the money to secure his family's future and treat himself to a well-earned break.

Malta players can legally bet on a wide range of international lotteries at Lottoland – and this big Gozo win proves just how real the prizes are.
