In a spectacular conclusion to its annual year-end special, Belize Government Lotteries Limited has announced nine winners for its coveted Million Dollar Jackpot draw. The winning combination of 4-4-8-5 emerged during Saturday’s December 20th drawing, creating multiple fortunate ticket holders across the nation.
According to Managing Director Janel Espat, each winner will receive a tax-free prize of $111,111.11, representing an equal division of the million-dollar pool. The lottery administration has already processed payments for four winners who promptly came forward on Monday morning following the weekend draw.
Ticket sales for this highly anticipated festive event commenced in early November, with participants investing just five dollars for a chance to select their four-digit combinations. The affordable entry fee contributed to widespread participation, generating national excitement throughout the sales period.
Successful claimants must present their winning tickets within the 30-day validation window at the official office in Belmont, Penn. Historical data from previous draws indicates strong compliance with this timeframe, with all fourteen winners from last year’s draw collecting their prizes within one week of the announcement.
Unclaimed winnings beyond the 30-day period will be reabsorbed into the revenue of Belize Government Lotteries Limited as stipulated by the national Lotteries Act, though early indications suggest this year’s winners are already actively claiming their rewards.
