A woman in the United States has beaten unfathomable odds to win the lottery, not once, but twice in a single week.
The unnamed 70-year-old woman from Delaware first won $100,000 (R1.8 million) from the lottery.
While on the way to collect her winnings she decided to buy a few more scratch tickets at a petrol station.
“When I scratched the $300,000 (about R5.4 million) winning SERIOUS MONEY ticket later in the day, we just sat there in disbelief. It was absolute insanity.”
So when she went to collect her total earnings, the woman was handed a whopping R7.25 million.
“My best friend was the first person I told about winning the $100,000 top prize, and she came with me to claim it,” the woman told lottery officials, Business Insider reported.
She plans on putting the money away for when she eventually retires.
“It’s great to see our players bring home six-figure prizes, and Instant Games continue to surprise and delight players throughout the state,” Acting Director of the Delaware Lottery Helene Keeley said in a press release.
Earlier this year another person from Delaware in the United States won the lottery on two occasions, that time two weeks apart.
Therefore if you’re looking to win the lottery, head to the state of Delaware in the United States and if you win, play again.
