US Man Wins Rs 86 Lakh Using Simple Lottery Ticket Strategy
A man from Washington County, Maryland, won $100,000 (about Rs 86 lakh) by sticking to his usual lottery strategy-buying scratch-off tickets in pairs. The lucky winner told Maryland Lottery officials he was tempted to break his habit when he spotted a $50 $5,000,000 Fortune ticket at Wooden Keg Liquors in Hagerstown. "The most I usually spend on a scratch-off is 20, but I decided to splurge," he said. "The problem is that I always, always, always buy two of the same game. Every time." With 100 in hand, he followed his instinct and bought two tickets. "I'd been thinking about it for a couple of days, so I was ready," he said. He won his money back on the first ticket, but it was the second that brought the real surprise. "I kept uncovering 5,000 matches. There were so many of them. They just kept adding up," he recalled. The second ticket ended up winning him a total of $100,000. "Any financial questions I had about my retirement were answered, with enough left over to share," he added. This isn't the only recent case of a major lottery win in the United States. Sylvia Wells, a North Carolina woman, won $200,000 from a scratch-off ticket, claiming she had predicted the win. Before buying the tickets, Wells told her husband she felt they would win. Her prediction proved correct when her husband's Diamond 10X ticket revealed a $200,000 prize. Wells jokingly said, "I told you we were going to do it." The winnings will be used to buy land. Wells' intuition and lucky ticket purchase led to the surprise win, bringing excitement and a sense of vindication to the couple's fortunate experience. Their win was a pleasant surprise.

Wife predicts lottery win — then lands $200K-winning ticket in NC. ‘I told you'
A North Carolina woman may be questioning her psychic abilities after her lottery prediction came true. Sylvia Wells, of Hubert, told her husband she believed she would win the lottery, according to a June 19 news release from the N.C. Education Lottery. The couple traveled to a Handy Mart in Jacksonville on June 17 to test their luck, officials said. 'We bought his favorite ticket and my favorite ticket,' Wells told officials. The two left the store, then scratched off their $5 Diamond 10X tickets — and her husband's ticket won $200,000. 'We just kept looking at each other,' Wells said. 'It was overwhelming.' Wells' husband's ticket hit one of four top prizes, lottery officials said. After taxes, they will take home $143,501. The woman told officials she plans to use the money to buy land. 'I was like, 'I told you we were going to do it,' Wells said she told her husband. 'We did it.' One top prize remains in the Diamond 10X game, lottery officials said. The couple lives in Hubert, about a 65-mile drive northeast from Wilmington in southeastern North Carolina.
