A lorry driver has hedged his bets on the same five numbers while playing the lottery - and reaped the rewards not just once but three times.
The 52-year-old man from Charles County, US, scooped his third $50,000 prize playing Pick 5 in just 11 months.
He placed a $1 straight bet on the numbers 48548 - the same ones used for two tickets he bought in a May 18 midday drawing last year.
