A lottery player wins twice in one draw and becomes a millionaire. His secret: A special function of a special lottery branch.
Munich – In the United States, a man has achieved the almost impossible – he won twice in a single Powerball drawing. This rare event is due to a lucky coincidence: he accidentally bought two identical lottery tickets and won the $1 million jackpot twice, according to the American news agency UPI reported.
Two-time millionaire: American wins twice in the lottery using the repeat function
The lucky winner explained to lottery officials that he had visited a special lottery outlet that has a replay feature. This feature searches old lottery tickets for winnings and prints new tickets with the same numbers. He didn’t expect that this feature would give him two tickets with the same numbers – until the day of winning. It is even more unlikely to get all the numbers correct and still not win.
The man had bought a total of six lottery tickets. It wasn’t until he scanned the bills that he realized he had won. This surprised him and his wife alike. “We cried for a moment,” he remembers. After they had processed the pleasant surprise, 20 minutes later he scanned the remaining bills, but this time with a hunch.
“What if I have the second million-dollar ticket?” – Lotto lucky person wins twice
His wife said: “He said, ‘I still have tickets that I need to go through. What if I have the second million-dollar ticket?’” And sure enough, the man had a second ticket with the same numbers and won a second time. “It was overwhelming,” said the newly crowned, two-time lottery winner. “I had no idea I had doubled it.”
The couple already has plans for their win. You want to avoid losing your winnings quickly, as is often the case with lottery winners. Therefore, they plan to invest their profits. Lotto winner Chico also recently revealed how much of his winnings is still left.
There are always bizarre stories about the lottery, such as the story of a man who… accidentally became a millionaire thanks to a fortune cookie.
