Dwayne Anthony Jarvis of Salisbury has made history as Dominica’s first Power Ball winner for 2025, walking away with a cheque for $178,898.00 during a presentation ceremony held Friday by the Dominica National Lottery (DNL).
Jarvis, a regular lottery player, expressed a mix of emotions as he accepted his prize. “First of all I am nervous, but excited to be the winner of the Power Ball,” he said. “I am excited to be here and I will continue to play the lottery.”
He added with a smile, “You have to be in it to win it.”
According to DNL’s Sales and Marketing Manager, Ken George, Jarvis purchased his winning ticket at the DNL main office in Roseau. Remarkably, the ticket was won on a free play.
“We are happy for you,” George told Jarvis. “The exciting thing about this ticket is that he won his ticket on a free play.”
George used the opportunity to remind the public of the value of free plays.
“Whenever you purchase lottery tickets and receive a free play, that is a free ticket, please go and redeem that ticket,” he advised.
In addition to celebrating Jarvis’s win, George issued a public appeal to the winner of the recent Super 6 Jackpot, valued at $1.19 million. The winning ticket was purchased at Miniyas in Canefield on Saturday, August 2, 2025, but has yet to be claimed.
“Currently we are awaiting the winner of the Super 6 Jackpot of $1.19 million,” George said. “Those of you who purchased tickets at Miniyas, please look at your tickets.”
He urged the winner to check the Dominica National Lottery Facebook page, visit the company’s website at domlottery.com, or contact any DNL agent to verify the winning numbers.
“Because we await you,” George reiterated, “an expiration date of 90 days, and time goes very quickly.”
