Double Lotto Win for Kansas Man

To win the lottery once is an amazing bit of luck but a double lotto win for one Kansas man must make him the luckiest person in the state. Edward Williams of Wichita, Kansas had a fantastic win on a lottery scratchcard last September but is now celebrating after a second big win in the Super Kansas Cash draw.
Mr Williams was ecstatic to win $75,000 on a $10 scratchcard last September and couldn’t have ever imagined winning the lottery again but the lucky gentleman defied the odds to match all the numbers in the Super Kansas Cash draw winning a jackpot worth almost $900,000. Who said lightening didn’t strike twice?
The lucky player travelled to Topeka to collect his winning on Friday, paid out as a single cash lump sum, after taxes he received $627,541 which I’m sure you’ll agree is a massive amount of cash.
When Mr Williams had his first lottery win he treated himself to a new car and some other things but this time he’s saving it for retirement, something he now hopes to do at 55. He has played the Super Kansas Cash, Powerball Lottery and other US lottery games consistently for the last seventeen years but now after winning the lottery twice in one year he may consider retiring from his lottery playing. Or can lightening strike three times? Who knows?
You can play both the major US Lotteries, the Powerball Lottery and Mega Millions Lottery from anywhere in the world with our lottery pages, why not try your luck.
