In the US, a man bought two lottery tickets in different stores: both turned out to be winning
In the USA, a man won two million dollars at once by purchasing two lucky lottery tickets in one night at different stores. About this informs CNN.
The lucky winner was Paul Corcoran, who initially bought a Powerball ticket at a supermarket, but later decided he had missed the draw and bought another ticket at another shop ten minutes away from the first.
According to Powerball information, both of Paul Corcoran’s winning tickets matched all five white balls drawn on July 9 — the numbers 5, 9, 25, 28 and 69. Each ticket won him $1 million before taxes.
However, Corcoran fell just short of the top prize — he missed the red Powerball ball with the lucky number 5, leaving him just one number away from the full jackpot. The odds of winning the Powerball are extremely low at about 1 in 292.2 million.
Corcoran admitted that he has been participating in this lottery for a long time, but the double win came as a complete surprise to him. He has not yet decided where he will spend the money. Both outlets where the winning tickets were purchased will also receive a $10,000 bonus.
