According to reports from American media, a 49-year-old man named Scotty Thomas from Fayetteville, North Carolina, bought two completely identical lottery tickets and won the top prize for both. Thomas reportedly participates in the Lucky for Life lottery draw in North Carolina every month. On the same day, Thomas filled out an extra ticket online because he couldn't remember if he had already done so. It wasn't until the next day that Thomas's son informed him of the winning news and asked why he had two sets of numbers. Thomas then realized that he had purchased two tickets.
The report states that these two sets of identical number tickets receive a lifetime prize of $25,000 annually. The lottery company mentioned that this is the second-largest prize in the Lucky for Life lottery, surpassed only by the $1,000 daily lifetime prize. Thomas was thrilled and openly admitted that he couldn't believe his ears: "When I realized I won, I had to lie down on the floor to calm down."
It is reported that Thomas ultimately chose to receive a lump sum of $780,000 because he plans to invest in business, pay off bills, help family members, and buy a house. Lucky for Life is a lottery draw game launched in 23 states and the District of Columbia in the United States as of June 28, 2021. The slogan for Lucky for Life lottery is "a lifetime of winning," and the draw is conducted by the Multi-State Lottery Association. Unlike other American lottery games, Lucky for Life lottery offers lifetime prizes. Second prize winners like Thomas have two options: an annual $25,000 or a one-time payment of $390,000.
It's worth noting that the odds of winning the first prize are only one in 30 million. Wow, isn't he incredibly lucky? Luck is really hard to predict; when good luck strikes, it comes suddenly and can't be stopped! If I were the winner, I would definitely be so happy that I might lose sleep for a few nights! After receiving the prize money, it's crucial to plan its usage wisely because easy come, easy go! |
