To have six correct numbers in the lottery, you need a lot of luck. A 60-year-old woman had a double helping of luck in Austria in March. She succeeded in the improbable and actually typed the six correct numbers - and only by an incredible coincidence. She had forgotten her lottery ticket at home.
Lotto: Pensioner played the same numbers for 30 years
To the West news portal, she explains: "I've been playing the same lottery numbers for 30 years . And then this: I'm in the tobacco shop (lottery kiosk in Austria; editor's note) wants to play the lottery ticket again , reach into my pocket and it was a grip on the void. I forgot my note at home . "
However, the pensioner decided not to go home to get the ticket. Instead, she bought five quick tips, each with six randomly generated numbers. So she had to do without her usual number combination, but with these she would only have had three correct numbers and would only have won a fraction of the money. The random tips ultimately brought her the much-desired lottery win .
