A pensioner from Florida has defied
odds of 195,547,109,921,856 to one to win a lottery jackpot for the second time.
James Bozeman bagged a jackpot of
$10 million (£6.25 million) last year, but that didn’t stop him playing.
The
67-year-old continued buying tickets from his favourite shop, and stuck with
his lucky numbers, only to come up trumps a second time, collecting a further
$3 million (£2 million).
While I don’t begrudge anyone who
wins any lottery, as it is a lottery and anyone can win it, I don’t understand
why after winning $10 million this guy thought hmm I’m 67 I’ve just won $10
million, that doesn’t sound like enough I think I’m going to keep on playing.
I’d very much like to know what he
had planned that he felt he needed a few million dollars more.
Yet even after winning the lottery
twice and collecting a combined $13 million he plans to play again, only with different
numbers, why?
The whole reason people play the
lottery is so they win the jackpot and don’t have worry about money anymore and
subsequently they then don’t need to buy a ticket every week and hope their
numbers come up.
As this guy overcame odds of nearly
200 trillion to one to win the lottery twice I bet there’s some poor person out
there who has had the most miserable time of it recently in a kind of Homer
Simpson-Frank Grimes scenario.
I wonder who the Frank Grimes is in
this situation, I think it has to be the guy from Texas who was struck by lightning
twice in the same day, weird isn’t it how those two stories have come to light
in the same week, coincidence, yes.
