Man won lottery six times and scooped £1,600,000 thanks to his ‘intuition’

A Vietnam veteran won £1,600,000 after his ‘intuition’ told him to buy six lottery tickets with the exact same numbers.

Raymond Roberts, from Fall River, Massachusetts, has been playing the lottery for 20 years. Each of his tickets was worth £324,000 as a cash prize.

The winning numbers Mr Roberts chose were a combination of birthday and anniversary dates, the BBC reports.

He said he had used the numbers before, but had not had any luck winning – until now.

According to the lottery, Raymond plans on buying a motorcycle with his new winnings.

The odds of winning the lottery game, called ‘Lucky for Life’ is just one in 1,813,028.

Residents of Massachusetts spend the most on lottery and scratch off tickets than anywhere else in the US.

A couple in the UK have recently won £1,000,000 on the National Lottery, saying their black cat brought them luck.

Tony, 71, and Deb Pearce, 63, started to feed a stray cat, Billy at a time when they were facing financial difficulty.

Deb said: ‘When Billy appeared we were close to selling our beloved home and becoming strays ourselves.

‘It looked like our only option was to go into rented accommodation then, six months after Billy arrived, lady luck struck and our lives changed for good.’
