Lucky squared: how people win lottery jackpots multiple times in a row

A 70-year-old woman from Delaware won two lottery jackpots totaling $400 in one week, despite the slim odds of such a match. And this isn't the first time something like this has happened to a lottery winner. CNBC.

According to a press release from the Delaware Lottery, the winner, who asked not to be named, won $100 in the Ultimate Cash Instant Lottery for the first time. She bought a $000 ticket from Speedy Gas in Newark, Delaware. The odds of winning were 20 in 1.

On her way home after claiming her prize at the Delaware Lottery headquarters, she decided to celebrate by purchasing three $30 Serious Money tickets from the Tiger Mart in Dover, Delaware.

Despite a 1 in 150 odds of winning, one of her tickets hit the $000 jackpot, bringing her total weekly winnings to $300.

The woman, who called her reaction "disbelief," says she plans to save most of the money for her retirement.

Other lottery winners who have won big twice in the lottery are rare, but there are more of them than you might think.

Earlier this year, an Iowa woman won her second $100 lottery prize in just over two years. The winner said she plans to use her winnings to pay off her debt and possibly start a business.

Although the Iowa Lottery did not reveal her first win, her second win was valued at 1 in 116.

Last year, a North Carolina man accidentally won the $25 jackpot twice on the same day.

He bought a Lucky for Life lottery ticket, forgot he bought it, and then bought a second ticket with the same numbers, according to the state lottery website. According to the lottery website, the odds of winning just once are 1 in 1.
