Man Wins Lottery Twice in 4 Months
Sat Oct 12,12:27 PM ET
LONDON (AP) - A British man has won substantial prize money twice in four months by playing the national lottery with the same numbers.
Electrician Mike McDermott, first won 195,000 pounds (US$305,000) four months ago by matching five numbers and a bonus number. He scooped another 120,000 pounds (US$190,000) on Sunday using the same numbers — 15, 16, 18, 36, 49 and 28.
McDermott, 51, who has two adult daughters, now intends to leave his home in Hampshire, southern England, and retire with his wife Helen on the Island of Kerkenah, off Tunisia, where they have bought a house.
"I was ecstatic when I discovered I had won in June but this time I really am in disbelief," he said.
"We really can't believe our incredible luck."
McDermott, who says he plays the lottery every Wednesday and Saturday, won't be giving up just yet.
"People say that things always come in threes so I will definitely be keeping my numbers, I now believe that anything is possible," he said.
