RALEIGH N.C. (WNCN) – In the last three years, one North Carolina man has won the lottery 144 times, netting nearly $300,000.
Is he the luckiest man in North Carolina? Not by a long shot. In the last three years, dozens of people have won 40 times or more.
The odds of a person who bought 10,000 tickets winning more than 20 times are about one in 520 million, an expert said. So how are some people winning again and again?
