A FORTUNATE man has scooped a third jackpot lottery prize in under 11 months from hedging his bets on the exact same numbers.
The 52-year old mystery man from Maryland has recently taken home yet another win of £40,000 and now plans to spend some of his cash on a holiday.
The Charles County local said his success was down to five crucial numbers (4-8-5-4-8), which he has repeatedly used to scoop his big wins.
This month he was astonished to find the numbers worked for a third time while playing Pick 5 at a local convenience store.
He said: "It hit last year and it hit again".
"My wife said, 'Let's play this number,' and we keep winning with it."
