Lottomart winner claims share of £4.4m jackpot after matching all six numbers on the Irish Lotto
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Dedicated dad Daniel aspired to buy a house for his family for years but never believed his dream would come true – until now.
The Stoke-on-Trent retail worker scooped £137,152.75 after matching all six numbers on the Irish Lotto and is already counting the days until he moves into the no-longer-a-fantasy, four-bed semi with his partner and three-year-old-son next month.
And taking pride of place, when it’s parked outside, will be Daniel’s stylish, brand new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, after he traded in their old Ford Focus and cleared debts with the winnings.
Daniel struck his fortune on Lottomart, an app which allows players to bet on the outcome of the world’s most popular lottery draws in innovative new ways.
It took a little while for the news to sink in: “I was in shock. I didn’t believe it, to be honest. I thought, ‘This can’t be real’.
“I was at home, sat in my living room, watching TV. I ran straight up to my partner and told her – she didn’t believe it either,” he said.
But it soon became a reality when the cash arrived.
“I kept looking at my bank account all the time, looking at how much was in there. I was jumping up and down with joy,” said Daniel.
He went for a celebratory Nando’s when the money was deposited, and booked a holiday with his family to Tenerife, but down-to-earth Daniel won’t be splurging the rest.
“We’ve managed to secure a house and give my son a good start in life. I’ll stick to my job – I enjoy it – and it’s great to have some savings in the bank.
“You never think it will actually happen to you. It’s one of the best feelings in the world knowing that you can just get to where you want in life without any struggles or worries,” said Daniel.
His fortuitous flutter was inspired by his father-in-law winning £200 on a football wager earlier in the day on Saturday 30 March.
Feeling lucky, a quick online search led him directly to Lottomart, where he was attracted by the company’s exclusive Boost function, which offers players the unique choice between bigger jackpots or increased chances of winning a jackpot win by multiplying the number of line bets in play and splitting the prize fund into 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 fractions.
He placed £2 bets on the Great British Jackpot and Irish Lotto and applied a x32 Boost. Instead of having one bet for the £4.4m Irish Lotto total, he had 32 line bets, each playing for £137k, and it was one of the 31 additional, randomly-generated number selections (1-10-14-21-22-39) that struck gold.
“We’re absolutely thrilled for Daniel. It’s fantastic that this prize money will allow him to secure his family’s future,” said Ashley Lang, Lottomart CEO.
“This is why we created Boost: to give more people more chances of winning. We all feel great when we create winners like Daniel,” added Lang.

Spillemyndigheden Calls Attention to FATF’s Updated Lists of High-risk Jurisdictions
The Danish Gambling Authority has called attention to FATF’s (Financial Action Task Force) updated lists of high-risk jurisdictions: the Grey List (jurisdictions under increased monitoring) and Black List (call for actions). Among other things, gambling operators must include FATF’s lists of high-risk jurisdictions when assessing players’ risk.
Jurisdictions listed on the Grey List are Algeria, Angola, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Ivory Coast, Croatia, DR Congo, Haiti, Kenya, Laos, Lebanon, Mali, Monaco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Nigeria, South Africa, South Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Venezuela, Vietnam and Yemen.
Jurisdictions listed on the Black List are Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Iran and Myanmar
Gambling operators are required to conduct enhanced customer due diligence (EDD) pursuant to section 17(1) of the Danish AML Act, if a player is assessed to impose a higher risk of the gambling operator being misused for money laundering or terrorist financing.
Gambling operators shall conduct this risk assessment based on Annex 3 to the AML Act (high-risk factors) which includes the FATF high-risk country lists (the so called black list and grey list)
It is not required that gambling operators perform EDD if a country is listed on the FATF’s list. EDD are only a requirement for players from jurisdictions listed in the EU Regulation of High Risk Third Country list pursuant to. 17(2) of the AML Act.
