What are the chances?
A man in Australia has been doing the same Lotto numbers for the last 30 years.
This week, he struck gold as his numbers were called out, winning him just over $23 million (AUD) which works out about €14.5 million. Not too shabby.
But the best part?
He actually bought two tickets for this Tuesday's draw by accident meaning he now picks up double that number... a cool €29 million.
Probably the luckiest mistake ever made!
The numbers that he chose 30 years ago didn't mean anything to him. They weren't numbers from his birthday or the number of his house - he just chose them at random.

A spokesperson for Oz Lotto told the Age:
“When we reached out to the division one winner from Melbourne to let him know he’d won this massive prize he was completely oblivious to the fact he’d won not once, but twice.
Quite remarkably, he didn’t even realise he’d bought two entries.
He thought he’d bought an entry for a different lottery draw.
"I might think about retiring. First maybe a new home or a holiday. I’ll definitely share it with my family."
