WATCH: A British man had a gut feeling….and it paid off big. Infrequent lottery bettor Dave Long defied 283 billion to one odds to win the lottery two times in two years. Charlie D’Agata has more from London.
LONDON – A couple from northern England has defied the odds – again – by winning a million pounds ($1.5 million) in the lottery for a second time.
David and Kathleen Long won the money – and a car – in the EuroMillions Mega Friday Draw, having already scooped up 1 million pounds in 2013.
Lottery operator Camelot said Wednesday the couple beat odds of 283-billion-to-1.
David Long says he played his usual numbers and watched in amazement as they came up. His wife, Kathleen, had to verify them. Since then, it’s all been a blur.
The retired truck driver says the win means he’ll probably take his wife on a cruise – as he’s run out of excuses not to go now. A party is also planned.
