lotto ticket » You can’t win if you don’t play: Canadian woman hits the lottery jackpot twice in just 4 years

We still can’t get over what went down in Fort Smith, Canada last week…
A lot can happen in four years. Get married. Get a job promotion. Graduate from school. Win the lottery… Twice. Yes, you read correctly, win-the-lottery-twice. Maybe lightening doesn’t strike twice, but apparently good fortune does! Luck has certainly been on one Canadian woman’s side as she recently won over $7,000,000 from the Canadian lottery, her second lottery win in just four years.
In October of 2007 Ann Lepine shared an $11,000,000 Lotto 6/49 prize and if that wasn’t lucky enough, she took home another $7.7 million lottery jackpot on 2/26/11. Two hours after purchasing a Lotto 6/49 quick-pick ticket Lepine logged on to the Western Canada Lottery Corp. website to check the drawing results to discover that she had won. “I was circling a lot of numbers and…telling my dog, ‘I think we won the lottery.’ So I went back and counted the numbers and…I had six out of six,” Lepine told interviewers. After a friend in Fort Smith double-checked her numbers with the winning numbers, her winning ticket was confirmed.
Coincidentally (because it wouldn’t be true lottery news without some sort of coincidence), two days later (a Monday) was Lepines last day of work – and not because of her jackpot, but her one-year work term just happened to expire the same week she won the lottery! “It’s kind of surreal; I guess, is what it is,” “I just still can’t believe it. I still keep on looking at the ticket and said, you know, ‘I actually won $7.6 million.’”
Back in 2007, Lepine and her than husband won $11 million, which was the largest jackpot to ever be awarded in the Northwest Territories. We’re actually starting to believe this woman has some kind of super-human powers…
Let’s review the lesson of the day: You can’t win if you don’t play. Period. And in the words of Ann Lepine – “You got to buy a ticket in order to win.”
We couldn’t agree more.
Good Luck,
Edward Webber
