I can't stand it! Virginia couple wins lottery THREE times in a month

[joeybee12]

A lucky Virginia couple has become instant millionaires after winning the lottery three times in less than a month.

Calvin and Zatera Spencer, from Portsmouth, beat odds of millions to one to scoop the series of mega-cash prizes in March.

Their incredible run of luck began on March 12 when they hit the Powerball jackpot with a $1 million win.

Two weeks later, on the 26th, they netted $50,000 from a Pick 4 game.

And the following day, keen to capitalize on their good fortune, they bought a scratcher — which saw them earn another $1 million prize.

Pretty freaking amazing!!!

1. That's an amazing run

I can't imagine the odds.

2. You'd think the Lottery Gods would spread the wealth around a little...

Specifically, spread it my way!

3. That's crazy.

When I was growing up, there was a family in our town that won twice in 2 years ($1 million each time, back when a million was an insane amount of money, lol) and I thought that was amazing. 3 times in a month? Geez.

4. Hate to be a downer, but I suspect this is actually a sad story

It looks like this was from three different games. They must play a shit ton of lottery games. They said they weren't done. That money is going to be gone.

5. Are you kidding me? I haven't won all month!

Maybe I should buy a ticket, that might help.

[Brigid]

8. Yep, gotta buy a ticket if you want to win.

That's why I don't win either.

6. Why would they even keep playing?

Unless someone is asking them to collect winning tickets on their behalf...

Or maybe they're just hardcore gamblers? If that's the case, then I can see how their post-taxes winnings would barely break them even...

7. They must have a time machine!

They go ahead a day,get the numbers,go back a day and play them. That's what I would do with a time machine anyway.

9. God must really love that couple.

10. I need some luck like that!! I'd be happy with the 50 grand, but wouldn't turn down the million! n/t
