Eugene and Adeline Angelo know a little bit about defying the odds.
They won the New York Lottery’s 6-number Lotto game TWICE in 11 years. The odds of winning it just ONCE are a staggering 22 million to 1. To win it twice is beyond-all-belief unlikely.
The first time they won was in 1996, when they received the lump payout of $2.5 million (that was a $10 million jackpot that they shared with 3 other people). This time, they had the jackpot all to themselves, but it is still a similar amount as before – $2.5 million in a lump sum.
