⭕ The Mega Power draw No. 2210 recorded a grand prize of Rs. 474,599,422—the biggest lottery jackpot in Sri Lankan history.

⭕ The winning ticket was sold by lottery agent H.A. Janaki Hemamala in the Gokarella area.

⭕ The previous record was Rs. 230 million, also under the Mega Power lottery.

Note: A 14% final tax applies to lottery winnings in 🇱🇰, therefore the winner will technically receive a net payout of ~Rs. 407 million.
