Wins lottery six times in one go due to ‘chhatti hiss’: ‘First of all I will buy a motorcycle’
A Massachusetts resident and Vietnam veteran walked into a liquor store on a cold December morning.
He routinely did what he has been doing for the past 20 years, that is, he bought a lottery ticket.
But that morning, his sixth sense told him that he was not going to buy just one ticket today, but six. Apart from this, his sixth sense also told him not to buy tickets with different numbers, but to buy six tickets of six with exactly the same number.
And then what happened was what his heart was saying, Raymond Roberts lottery came out and he won 390 thousand dollars on each ticket. Raymond Roberts cashed five tickets, bringing a total of nearly $2 million to his account.
However, he did not cash his sixth ticket, instead he put this amount of 390,000 in a scheme under which he will get 25,000 dollars annually for the next 20 years.
In the lottery played by Raymond Roberts, you are entitled to a prize if you pick five balls with the correct numbers, meaning you can win multiple prizes even with the same numbers.
Roberts says she chose the numbers very thoughtfully, combining the dates of her loved ones’ birthdays and other important annual dates in her family. Raymond had used the same numbers in various lotteries before, but had not come up with anything.
Raymond lives in a town called ‘Fall River’, which is located 80 km south of Boston, the capital of the state of Massachusetts. He received his prize money on December 15.
So what do they plan to do with this windfall?
Raymond Roberts says that the first thing he will do is buy a motorcycle.
The lottery he played is called ‘Lucky for Life’ and after winning so many identical numbers, people would really say that Raymond is ‘lucky for life’.
According to the lottery rules, a person has a one in 1813028 chance of winning the annual $25,000 prize.
According to the research, the residents of Massachusetts spend the most per capita money on the lottery in the United States and every second person there is scratching the lottery tickets to see if the prize came out this time or not.
