EVEN the luckiest among us will win the only lottery once, but two-time jackpot winners are more common than one might think.
In 2014, Mary Riedel won the lottery twice with her jackpot takings coming only four months apart.
The first $50,000 prize she won in 2014 but Mary herself lost out on using any of the money.
The generous mom gave the winnings to her daughter to buy a house, LoveMoney notes.
Four months later, she stopped off at a gas station and picked up a ticket.
After winning a few bucks on that one ticket, the Ohio woman won another $100,000 when she had the store clerk pick a random ticket for her.
"I just feel like the luckiest person I know," Mary said at the time, revealing that she was planning to use the money for her retirement.
Another winner saw a prize strike twice after his near-death experience.
Australian truck driver and former caravan-dwelling Bill Morgan, 37 at the time of his win, suffered a near-fatal truck crash.
Bill clinically died for 14 minutes because of a heart attack the crash induced, according to Lottery Critic.
He was comatose for a week and recommended to be taken off of life support, but after a miraculous recovery, Bill was astonished at his own luck and decided to play the lottery.
The lucky man won a car worth $17,00 via a scratch-off ticket.
A local Melbourne news station wanted to re-enact the victory, so Bill went down to the store where the ticket was purchased and bought another scratch-off.
Live on air, he won a quarter of a million dollars, LC reports.
While Bill's story is particularly odds-defying, another lucky gambler won three times in a single day in 2018.
Mark Maltz from Michigan was filling up a company truck when he bought a scratch-off and won $10.
He pushed his luck again with a Fast Cash ticket and won $15. Mark then bought another $5 Fast Cash Jack Black Ticket, and a Jackpot Slots ticket for $10, Love Money writes.
Mark won the entire Jackpot Slots pool, worth $325,184.
The winner said to ABC: “I’m going to sit on this for a little while and decide how to best invest it and make it last me a long time.”
The methods of play align with the teachings of Mark Rustig, the late lottery expert and multi-jackpot winner who authored Learn How To Increase Your Chances of Winning The Lottery.
Lustig also developed a lottery software called Lottery Maximizer.
His sage advice was to use the money you win to buy more tickets.
He also swears by picking your own numbers (in sequential order, of course) and, and remaining loyal to the same set of numbers, says Lottery Critic.
The same philosophy remains clear regardless of the tactics: you can't win if you don't play.
