The Luckiest Lottery Player Alive

The lottery game is a game of luck. The lucky match up the winning numbers and win the jackpot while the unlucky keep their fingers crossed and hope that next time luck would be on their side. While still on the lucky lottery players, one lottery player is probably the luckiest walking the face of the earth.

James Peterson is a lottery player hailing from Hampton, Virginia. He was a lucky $100000 winner in the cash 5 lottery game. One hundred grand does raise many eyebrows considering that there are lottery winners such as Jack Whitaker, who won more that $356 Million from the lottery. However, in Paterson case, he did not have one, but thirteen cash 5 lottery tickets that matched the winning numbers.

This means that on that day he took home a whopping 1.3 million dollar in prize money. That was probably one of the luckiest days of James as nobody can guess the odds of such an occurrence. It was by tradition that Patterson purchases more than one lottery ticket and as he by routine purchased some lottery tickets for his two sons.

Interestingly, the winning numbers he chose had no special meaning to him, as he preferred his lottery ticket numbers random. He believes that his sons are the lucky charm that led him to the millions in the lottery. As a gratitude to his ‘lucky charms’, he gave each of his sons a $100,000 winning ticket.

It still grapples statisticians on the odds of winning the lottery by buying multiple tickets with the same numbers. Recently, Virginia Fike, a lottery player also from the Virginia State matched the winning number to both her tickets and won two million dollars from the Powerball Lottery.
