Meet David Serkin, a lucky man from Lethbridge, Alberta who has won the lottery not once, not twice, but three times! Can you believe it? In a world where your chances of winning the Canada's Lotto 6/49 jackpot are one in 14 million, David has defied the odds and come out on top three times.
His first win was 12 years ago, when he took home $250,000. Then earlier this year, he struck luck again with a $500,000 win. And just when you thought lightning couldn't strike three times, David won another $1,000,000 in the latest draw. Needless to say, his wife and friends were shocked and couldn't help but rib him for his incredible luck.
With his new fortune, David is planning to take his wife on a dream vacation to Maui, Hawaii where they spent their honeymoon. But that's not all, the couple also has plans to visit Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada and Yellowstone National Park in the US. David knows the key to a happy marriage is keeping his wife happy, and he's been doing it for decades.
So what's David's secret to winning the lottery? It's actually quite simple – he buys a Quick Pick ticket for every draw. And even though he's won multiple times, he still can't believe his luck and how good it feels.
But David isn't the only one who has experienced multiple lottery wins. In the UK, David and Kathleen Long won £1 million in 2013, followed by another £1 million and a Jaguar car in 2015. And who could forget George Traykov, who won a EuroMillions prize of £160,873 in 2013, adding to his previous win of £1 million in 2011.
Some lottery winners have even won multiple times on a smaller scale. Take Neil and Hayley from Lancashire, for example. They won the People's Postcode Lottery twice in just three weeks, earning them over £30,000. And they had only started playing when they moved into their new home three months prior.
Of course, with multiple lottery wins come suspicion. Amelia Barnham from London was questioned by authorities after winning a total of £23,600 in small prizes over the years. She was even visited by an investigator before receiving her £800 winnings. But despite the trouble, she will always remember her wins and the fun she had playing.
Allwyn, the company that operates the lottery, has implemented a new claims process for prizes over £500, which may explain the increase in security checks for multiple winners like Amelia. But for David Serkin and others like him, it's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time and having a little bit of luck on your side.
