Picking up a big win at lotteries is reserved for the lucky few.

But one man had a lot of trouble in particular.

  • A man could hardly believe his luck when the lottery numbers were drawn.

  • He won nearly a million dollars in an unusual way.

  • Kwame Cross describes the fateful fortune.

Virginia / USA - There are many different ways to win in games of chance.

While the “6aus49” game is best known for lottery in this country, many try to whip up their account balance with Spiel77 or Super6 as well as the Eurojackpot or the Glücksspirale.

There are a dozen methods in the United States that are not offered in Germany.

Using an example, a man named

Kwame Cross

showed

that anything is possible.

Lotto: A man who filled in 160 tickets

Cross bought the tickets at a gas station and filled out 160 pieces with exactly the same numbers.

His life should change the combination

7-3-1-4

.

And she did.

Was it his lucky numbers, any dates of birth or his bank PIN?

No, the fate goes back to a TV show.

Lotto: Why he chose the numbers is a great coincidence

“I saw an address on TV in the background.

For some reason, I couldn't forget her, ”Kwame Cross told the Virginia lottery commissioner, according to CNN.

Cross was

entitled to $ 5,000

per ticket filled out

.

But because the price was

multiplied

by

160

, he was entitled to $ 800,000 in the end.

The odds of hitting four numbers in the correct order are 1 in 10,000, reports the Virginia Lottery.

Kwame Cross bought 160 tickets this month for a Virginia Lottery Pick 4 game.

And he played exactly the same four-digit combination for every ticket: 7-3-1-4.



That combination, on December 5, proved to be a winning one, bringing him an $ 800,000 payday.

The lottery winner does not yet have a plan with the money.

“I couldn't believe it, I've looked it up 82 times.

It felt surreal, ”said Cross, who runs a small business in Washington DC.

In Washington DC, concerns are currently greater elsewhere: Donald Trump is still at the helm in the White House and is leading the US rather poorly through the pandemic.
