An incredibly lucky couple living in the US state of Virginia won the lottery three times in just one month, becoming millionaires.
Calvin and Zatera Spencer's winning streak began on March 12 with a jackpot of $ 1 million, which the pair won in the American Powerball lottery by matching five numbers from the first block.
Two weeks later, on March 26, the couple won $ 50,000 in America's most popular daily pick 4 lottery, and the next day, the couple won another million by purchasing a $ 100 million Virginia lottery scratch card. Erasing the protective layer of the card and seeing the amount of the winnings, Calvin said to his wife: "Baby, we did it again!"
The odds of winning a $ 1 million Powerball prize are 1: 5 million, according to the lottery website. According to the Virginia Lottery, in which the couple acquired their second million, their odds of winning were only one in a million. According to the terms of the lottery, the couple was asked to receive a million in full, but within 30 years, or pay taxes and receive $ 681,000 at a time. The couple decided to get the winnings immediately.
As the Spencers said, they will continue to play the lottery.
“We're not done yet,” the couple said when they received their last prize.
After the Spencers won their first million, they told reporters that they would no longer buy lottery tickets, but luckily for themselves, they changed their minds and now have the opportunity to make profitable deposits, writes in the latest issue of Mail Online.
The lottery organizers are surprised by the incredible success of the couple, no less than the lucky ones themselves.

“I've never seen anything like it in my 12 years of work,” said Virginia Lottery spokesman John Hagerty.
In the life of an American couple, a streak of incredible luck has definitely come, with which, perhaps, only one person can argue - a resident of Orlando, Richard Lustig. He managed to win big in the Powerball lottery seven times. Having received the last win, the American made a loud statement, declaring to the whole world that he knows the secret of how to win the lottery!
