Winning a lottery is an exciting affair. And, even though the odds of getting the prize money are dicey, sometimes taking the risk is worth it. Like, a man won $1 million in the lottery after losing his home to the Australian bushfires. However, can you imagine the joy of winning not one but two lotteries?
Well, with some luck and persistence, a Colorado man won the jackpot twice after playing the same numbers for 30 years, reports News18. Surprisingly, the winning tickets were sold just a mile apart in 2 different stores on Lake Avenue in Pueblo.
Colorado Lottery officials identified the winner as Joe B. As per communications director Meghan Dougherty, Joe had bought one ticket in the morning and the other in the evening. He won two $1 million (approximately Rs. 7.5 crores) Powerball jackpots and has already claimed the winnings, reports the New York Post.
Earlier this month, the Colorado Lottery received approval to process winning tickets worth $10,000 (approximately Rs. 7.5 lakh) or more at touch-free, drive-thru claims office. Pure luck or mere coincidence, what do you think about the man’s double win? Tell us!
