Larnaca man wins £5m jackpot

A MAN from Larnaca was the lucky winner of £5 million in the Joker lottery draw in Greece on Thursday night – though the ticket holder has reportedly not come forward to claim his loot.
The lucky ticket, worth just £3, was registered at Yenakriis Apostolou bookmakers in Larnaca.
A further 18 people won just over £25,000 each and 221 others, among which 29 were Cypriots, walked away with £1,100 each.

The lucky numbers were 4, 22, 23, 27 and 28, and the joker was number 3.
Sunday’s Joker draw’s jackpot will be worth £400,000.
