It must feel great to win the lottery. And it must feel even better to win the lottery twice in only two days. Yes, there is someone who has the exact situation above. And the name is Orlene Peterson.

The Idaho woman won two back-to-back lottery prizes, both in the six-digit range. First a $300,000 lottery prize –– the next day, another $200,000. What were the odds? Idaho Lottery officials estimate the odds of winning twice in a row is about 1 in 282.5 million.

“Very lucky, I’ve got to admit,” said Tigger in an interview. “I should consider buying a few lottery tickets. But if I don’t win, then I guess I’ll have to quit it because I’ve got better things to do than wasting my money.”

Have you ever bought any lottery tickets? If so, how much were they? That has been the New News Newsminute, thank you.
