An American was particularly fortunate in July sincein the span of eleven days, he won the Mega Millions lottery twice. In total, the man won over $ 3 million.
On July 16, this South Carolina resident won $ 40,000 in Mega Millions, or about 34,000 euros. A few days later, on July 27, he won over $ 3 million, or some 2.5 million euros, reports CNN. Both times the American played a random grid and missed the jackpot by only one number.
“I could not believe it (…) My family was in shock when I told them the news,” said the lucky winner to our American colleagues. This stroke of luck is extremely rare. “The odds of winning $ 40,000 playing Mega Million are one in 931,001 and odds of winning $ 3 million are one in 13 million“said the South Carolina Education Lottery, responsible for lottery games.
The two tickets were validated in the same place : a Murphy USA gas station located in Myrtle Beach.
