There is another Lotto Winner tonight. His name is Edwardo Wade and he won the $167,500.00 lotto jackpot. Today the 60 year old man travelled all the way from Belmopan to Belize City to claim his prize and told 7news how his lucky numbers were chosen.
Edwardo Wade
"I bought my ticket on Saturday evening very late. On Sunday morning when there was a program around 10-11 I heard some of the numbers and when I heard those numbers I said to myself that those sounded like my numbers and I call my son who told me that he had wrote down the numbers. When we check it there were the said numbers. That's the way I got to know about it and I confirm it at the end of the day."

"I have a farm and I was lying down in a hammock one day and I took an old rug that we had in the house and I took it and put it away in the farm house and I look at that rug and I saw some numbers on that rug. The numbers were 2,3,8,6. I played with those numbers, set them up and so I came up with those numbers."
