Wouldn't it be nice to win the lottery? How about winning the lottery twice? Even better, how about winning three times?
This is a picture of Robert Marsh, a resident of Port Charlotte, Florida. He is a lottery player that struck it rich with a wicked hot streak. I wrote about Robert Marsh in September of 2009 when he won $1 million playing Florida Lottery's Billion Dollar Blockbuster instant scratch game. Since then, he won another $10 million playing the exact same game. To top it off, while he was waiting to claim his $10 million prize at Florida Lottery's headquarters, he bought another lottery scratch ticket and won an additional $500. Three wins... Now that's a hot streak!
Robert's grand total of lottery wins is now $11,000,500!
Wouldn't it be nice to strike it rich in the lottery just once? It's amazing that some people win multiple times. Do they have a secret? Hmmm?
The Billion Dollar blockbuster scratch-off game is a pretty big deal in Florida. That's because the game offers more than a billion dollars in instant-win prizes. That includes 10 prizes of $10 million and over 100 prizes of $1 million. A ticket costs $20 to play and the odds of winning the top prize of $10 million, which is what Robert won, are approximately 1-in-6.5-million.
