This Never Happens To Me

Some folks have all the luck...

A woman who won $1 million playing a Pennsylvania Lottery scratch-off ticket earlier this year won another million on the same game Thursday.

Donna Goeppert, 55, of Bethlehem said it was "just unbelievable" as she was filing her claim Friday at lottery headquarters. "What are the odds of that?" she asked.

The odds of winning just once are 1.44 million-to-1, according to the lottery.

Goeppert's winning tickets both came in the lottery's $1 Million Blockbuster game. A lottery spokeswoman confirmed that a claim was filed and said it may be two months before a check is issued.
The Lord of Truth, in his note accompanying this article, was amused that someone figured out the odds of winning twice. I'm amazed that anyone who wins once keeps playing.
