Stanley Ho the King of Macau Casinos passed away on May 26, 2020, at the ripe old age of 98. With an incredible run of success and millions of dollars, oops sorry, Billions of dollars, Stanley had a monopoly on the Casino industry in Macau for 4 long decades.

The winning number 5, 28, 62, 65 and 70, with a Mega Ball number 5, was drawn on Tuesday October 23, 2018.
