S. Gayle - Winner Of Jamaica's Supreme Ventures Lotteries Lotto Game

The picture to the left is that of a man from Jamaica named S. Gayle. He won a big Lotto jackpot from Supreme Ventures Lotteries, the lottery provider for Jamaica. You might be looking at the picture of S. Gayle and be thinking to yourself that this must be some kind of joke. I know that the date today is April 1, but this ain't no April Fool's joke; it's just a coincidence.

Supreme Venture Lotteries is not releasing the full name of the man; he is only known as S. Gayle. He was wearing a disguise in the photo so that he could keep his privacy and, also, for his own safety - After all, this isn't North America or The U.K., it's Jamaica.

The prize that S. Gayle won in the Lotto was $240 million Jamaican dollars. That works out to 2,713,397 USD, making it one of the biggest lottery jackpots ever in Jamaica.

S. Gayle was identified as the winner of the big Jamaican jackpot on March 31, 2010. But the draw was actually about a month prior to that. He waited a month to claim his winnings so that he could take some time to relax and sort himself out.

S. Gayle said that he planned to use his winnings to invest in real estate and farming.
