Man wins $1 million lottery prize SIX times in the same draw

An Arizona man has beaten the odds to win $1 million cash prizes in the lottery not once but six times. 

The man bought his tickets for the April 25 multistate lottery game at a QuickTrip store in Glendale, hand-picking the same numbers six times. 

News of the win spread round the city in the days after the draw after it was announced that only one of the tickets had been claimed, prompting players to double check their numbers.

Now the rumours have been confirmed, it was indeed one lucky winner who owned all six of them. 

The man bought six tickets with five identical numbers at the gas station and a different Powerball for each.

He made three separate trips to the Arizona Lottery’s headquarters in Phoenix to claim his $6 million. 

Jeff Hatch Miller, Executive Director of the Arizona Lottery, confirmed the win and told KTAR.com: ‘It's absolutely fantastic, and as rare as it might be, it does happen. 'It was an exciting event each time,' said Miller. 

‘The fact that they came three different times had to do with something only known to them and certainly not known to us.’
