The latest lottery winner stories

Luck is something which is incorrigible. One can never be certain of his luck, favoring or opposing. However, it can be biased at times.

Here are some of the strangest lottery winning stories from around the world.

The lucky forgotten ticket

This is why it is advised to be reassured of your action

A 94-year-old U.S. Air Force Veteran, William Bowker, was about to throw his $6.5 million prize even after checking for the winning numbers. He told that his granddaughter had thoroughly matched his ticket number with the winning numbers. She even circled the numbers to find dismay after matching but the number she matched with were those drawn in Mega Millions and not with the Oregon’s Game Megabucks. She was about to throw them into the waste stack. Fortunately, he kept it with him and thought of taking another look at it to match it with Oregon’s Game Megabucks winning numbers.

He had bought the ticket for a mere $5 at a convenience store. His odds of winning were calculated to be 1 in 6.1 million. This makes him aptly lucky to be winning 2.2 million after taxes.

The luckiest man probably

A navy corpsman with the name, Michael Strong, can be called one of the luckiest, if not the luckiest, person. He has won a cash prize with 26 out of the 27 lottery scratch-off game he has played. Every instance he used to buy $20 tickets, as he said were lucky for him and claimed rewards. He won the last prize when he was back home in Richlands for some work on his home. His friends were joking with him about his luck and asked him to try his luck yet again. After which he bought the ticket and as always, won $1 million. He told the lottery officials “I always win I play them” as if it was an everyday thing for him. He took home $424,506 of the $600,000 offered to him ib lumpsum after tax deductions.

Luck is something which can never be planned or analysed but it is really strange to see how some people have it as if they own it.
