Sharon Residents Claim Combined 26 Million Shekels in Israel Lotto Win
Two Sharon region residents have won a combined 26 million shekels in the Israeli Lotto, claiming top prizes of 20 million and 6 million shekels respectively while pledging to maintain their daily routines.
Two residents from the Sharon region have claimed a combined 26 million shekels in recent Double Lotto drawings, with both winners pledging to maintain their regular daily routines despite the massive windfalls.
The first winner, a man in his 60s, collected the 20 million shekel first prize at the national lottery headquarters a day after the draw. He explained that his winning ticket combined self-selected numbers with an automated quick-pick selection, discovering his fortune through a routine barcode scan. "The amount will not confuse me, I will continue to work, live normally, and distribute an amount to my children that will secure their future," he stated.
Meanwhile, the second winner, a man in his 70s, secured 6 million shekels in the second prize category, marking the highest second-prize payout recorded since the beginning of 2026. He routinely submits a 60-shekel weekly ticket, learning of his win at the local retail point when the vendor informed him that the sum required a formal visit to the lottery headquarters.
The second-tier prize had accumulated across three consecutive draws following lower payouts earlier in the spring months of March and April. "I always took care of the whole family, now God is helping me take care of myself for more well-being and peace of mind," the winner remarked, adding that he intends to invest the funds wisely while keeping his lifestyle unchanged.
