Knowing full well that the odds of actually winning a big prize playing Powerball are distinctly sylphlike, you have to be pretty lucky to win a $100,000 Powerball prize and ‘Stupidly lucky’ to win it twice in a single draw playing the same numbers on two distinct tickets.

But, according to the Michigan Lottery, such a predicament is no luck but, a mathematically inevitable possibility that is bound to befall someone somewhere sooner or later.

That’s exactly what happened to Jeffrey Norman, a 55-year-old man from Belleville, a town of Wayne County in the midwestern U.S. state of Michigan.

Mr. Jeffrey Norman is a stalwart Powerball player. He has an auspicious set of numbers, which he plays week in, week out. This time he felt so lucky that he played his lucky numbers on two tickets for the same draw.

His lucky hunch paid off when his numbers correctly matched four of the five winning white ball numbers plus the Powerball number (01-10-27-28-36 PB: 12) in the July 18, 2018 Powerball drawing.

He bought his two winning tickets at the Speedway gas station, located at 25791 West 6 Mile Road in Redford, and Stack’s Liquor and Deli, located at 45455 Ecorse Road in Belleville.

Typically, matching four numbers plus the Powerball carries a $50,000 prize, however, lucky Norman is a very hopeful player, so on both tickets he had chosen to play Powerplay, an optional play which multiped his ($50,000) Powerball win by two to a $100,000 prize for each ticket, totaling $200,000 for both tickets.

“When I checked my numbers, all I could say was: ‘Oh my God!’ It was an incredibly gratifying feeling to win,” Norman told the Michigan Lottery when he visited the Lottery headquarters last Thursday to claim the big prizes. He plans to invest the money for his retirement.
