Man named ‘Gambles’ wins lottery twice with same numbers
<p>Larry Gambles, a 65-year-old man from US state Illinois, has won the lottery twice in nine years, incredibly using the same numbers on each occasion.</p>
<p>The aptly-named Gambles was overjoyed to hear that he had won the $1.3 million Lucky Day Lotto and spoke of his strategy when presenting his winning ticket.</p>
<p>“Nine years ago, I won $50,000 playing the numbers from the jerseys of my high school basketball team,” Gambles told the Lottery. “I can’t believe they paid off again!”</p>
<p>Gambles is a retired school administrator and plans to share the winnings with friends and family. When asked about his strategy for success, the now two-time winner said, “Pick your favourite numbers and stick with them. It worked for me!”</p>
<p>What an incredible story, and it seems as though he’ll put that money to a good cause. Do you know anyone who’s been lucky enough to win the lottery?</p>
