A Virgnia man has hit the jackpot not once, not twice, but 20 times after buying winning lottery tickets all with the same numbers.
Fekru Hirpo, of Alexandria, Virginia, purchased 20 identical tickets with the same number combination from a petrol station in Arlington. He picked the four-digit combination 2-5-2-7 on a spur of the moment decision.
He told lottery officials he made the last minute decision to go all in on the same number combination for the 'Pick 4' game. Hirpo explained he "doesn't usually play with so many tickets containing identical numbers, but something just told him to do it", according to a news release from Virginia Lottery.
