Very odd win. Couple win £1million lottery twice in 2 years

A British couple have won £1million in the EuroMillions lottery for the second time in 20 months - beating odds of more than 283 billion to one. Millionaires David and Kathleen Long from Scunthorpe pictured left when they won it the first in 2013 and right in 2015

The former lorry driver said today he was 'shocked' to win again but continued buying a ticket after their first million-pound win because 'I just knew it would be my turn again some day'.

The couple, who married last year after a 12-year engagement, announced their win at their local pub in Scunthorpe where they put on a free bar for all their family and friends today.

Last time the HGV driver and his now-wife won despite throwing their ticket in the bin in 2013. He then 'had the urge to fish it out' and was shocked to discover it was worth £1million.

Mr Long said today: 'I tend to play when I know there are lots of prizes on the go.

'Last time I knew I had a good chance because there were 100 prizes of £1 million. Last Friday night I was passing the local shop and saw there were 10 £1 million prizes on EuroMillions and a nice car and thought yeah I'll give that a go.

'Got to be worth a few lines and I got five using my usual numbers.
