Shanika Miller, from the city of Durham (North Carolina, USA) won the Powerball lottery a prize of 2 million dollars playing the same numbers that three years ago brought her luck, the woman told local media.

Miller always bets on a combination formed by the birthdays of his children and their age. With these same numbers, in 2017 he won a prize of $ 50,000 in Powerball.

He admits that when the digital platform sent him a message informing him of the prize won, he could not believe it. “I woke up around 6, I saw him and I started crying. I said to myself that it can’t be true, I checked it, and I checked it, and I checked it ”, confesses Miller.

The five figures on his $ 3 bill (eligible between numbers 1 to 69) all matched the five on the prize, representing a coincidence probability of one for $ 11.6 billion.

After paying state and federal taxes, the American received $ 1.4 million. The first thing he says he will do is buy a car for his son, find a house for his family and pay all his debts, the woman said.
