The couple from the Irish city of Kilkenny have become multimillionaires thanks to their long-term habit of playing the lottery with the same numbers. The UPI portal reports.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, noted that his family had been participating in draws for decades using the same sequence of numbers. Ultimately, their favorite combination and consistency brought them a major victory: they won 5.4 million euros (491.7 million rubles).
The head of the family was the first to know the good news when he stood in line at the store. He immediately hurried home to tell his family about the win. According to him, the money prize came in handy: lately, all family members have experienced financial difficulties.
“We're not going to break away and spend money on new cars and things like that; however, we had one common dream – to settle accounts with mortgages. Words cannot describe how wonderful it was to implement it, ”the winner shared.
Earlier, a resident of the American County of Ann Arundel, Maryland, who managed to get rich after playing the lottery for 20 years, revealed his winning tactics. He hit the jackpot thanks to his consistency. Every week for decades, he bought lottery tickets and entered the same sequence of numbers on them.
