OREANDA-NEWS  A resident of the Moscow region went shopping at the market, at the same time bought a lottery ticket for 150 rubles and became the owner of more than 285 million in the game "Hunting," Stoloto, the largest distributor of All-Russian state lotteries, told RIA Novosti.

"On January 31, 2025, in the 18887th edition of the game "Hunting", a multimillion-dollar super prize was awarded - 285,280,449 rubles. The winner was Alexander, a resident of the Moscow Region, who bought a ticket for only 150 rubles at an ordinary Stoloto retail outlet, who went to the market in Orekhovo-Zuyevo near Moscow that day," the company said.

Before that, the man had purchased an electronic lottery ticket for the same game and won 150 rubles, which he used to buy a lottery ticket again. "I was thinking to myself: "Will I win or not?" But again 150 rubles! I decided to try my luck a third time. As they say, I cast the net three times. That's where millions of dollars worth of luck was waiting for me!" - said the winner.

According to the rules of the game "Hunting", the main trophy is won by the one who guesses four numbers in both numeric fields of the ticket. The winning numbers for Alexander were 12, 13, 15, 20 in the first field of the ticket and 5, 7, 8, 14 in the second.

The first person with whom Alexander shared his emotions from the victory was his daughter Anastasia. The girl did not immediately believe her father. "In the first minutes when he called me on the phone, I didn't believe him. She said, "Yes, you probably got spam! This can't be happening!" I knew that Dad was farcical, but I couldn't even imagine that," the girl said.

The man decided to invest part of the winnings in starting his own business in order to ensure a stable future for his loved ones and increase the funds he won. And Alexander will make a gift for his beloved daughter - he will buy her a car.
