Brushing off his blunder, David decided to buy a ticket for that day’s game instead using the same numbers. To his shock, he won the $218,613 (£182,993) jackpot. And to make his success even sweeter, Sunday’s prize was only $169,000 (£141,464). He said: “I didn’t complete the purchase until the next day. “If I had paid attention and did it right the first time, I wouldn’t have won.” David said he plans to use his new found fortune to make a down payment on a condo in Puerto Rico.

The 47-year-old Michigan woman thought it was impossible that she had scooped the eye-watering cash sum. She thought the email telling her of her £90,000 ($110,689) winnings was fake. Then, to her surprise, lottery officials called her up to confirm her prize. It comes after a Maryland man won the lottery whilst playing on a whim during his late night chicken run. He plans to use the money to go hiking and buy himself and his son a house. Meanwhile, one lotto winner who once raked in a £100,000 jackpot now fits windows alongside stealing trainers.
