Mahapola Lottery - first winner of Rs. 700,000 The winner of one of the top prizes, in the newly introduced Mahapola Lottery, collected her prize money from the Mahapola Lottery Prize Payment Centre in Colombo 2. The Mahapola Lottery has more than one prize of Rs. 700,000 at the highest level. B. S. Malkanthi hailing from Kathaluwa, Ahangama a mother of 4 children whose husband is a fisherman said "I will use this money to improve our dwelling and invest for the education of my children". "I buy most other instant lotteries regularly, but most of the time they have only been a disappointment, this is the first time I bought the Mahapola Lottery and I am very happy that I won one of the top prizes. Now that I know this lottery supports scholarships for our children I won't hesitate to invest my money in it." Saman Kumudhu Liyanage the Mahapola Lottery agent from Ahangama who was responsible for creating the winner had this to say: "Most Instant Lotteries don't have big and interesting prizes. Mahapola Lottery seems to have changed the way the instant lotteries are marketed. There is greater interest in this product, as there have been more prizes. We also know that the funds generated support Mahapola Scholarships for our own children when they go to university. I feel this is a Lottery that makes everyone win. I am glad to have been the person who sold the first top prize in the Mahapola Lottery "Rainbow" game which came to the market only few weeks ago." |
