Couple reveal secret as they win lottery again after record-breaking scratch card prize

Couple reveal secret as they win lottery again after record-breaking scratch card prize A Canadian couple for whom lottery luck has struck twice in the past six years have given some advice on how they managed to win so much money in a relatively short space of time A Canadian couple spoke about what they think is the secret to their lottery success after they scored two wins in the space of just six years. The duo, Angelina and Edward Lado, have won $675,000 (£357,000) on a scratch card they purchased for just $4 (£2.12) which would have been an incredible achievement on its own. And yet, in 2018, they won a massive $2.5m (£1.33m) from a game known as Multi Millionaire Scratch ‘N Win. This first victory was reportedly the record for the biggest win from a scratch card in history. When it came to this second windfall, the pair had an important choice when their numbers came up. Although Angelina and Edward won a lump sum, they also have the option of $1,000 (£530) a week for 25 years instead. As they celebrate their latest windfall, the pair have spoken about what they think their secret to success has been, and it’s something anyone can do. People reported that Edward said: “We play but modestly, especially now, but if you don’t play, you don’t win. We’ve purchased bigger tickets and not won anything significant on them and then Set for Life costs just $4 and we did.” Edward also spoke about how he felt when he realised the pair had won for the second time, explaining: “I thought maybe she was bluffing when she told me, I really couldn’t believe it… I told her to calm down and when I come home, we will see if it is for real.” When asked what he would do with the money going forward, Edward said they were still “digesting the moment and letting it sink in” before making any firm decisions about what they would do next. What they did, however, with their first win was incredibly moving. The couple had moved from South Sudan to Canada 11 years before their win in 2018. The money they won allowed Edward to find his mother, a person whom he couldn’t remember, and it turned out she was in Uganda. At the time, he said: “I will go to find her and hopefully bring her here. It’s very hard for me to believe that is now possible.” Ensure our latest World News headlines always appear at the top of your Google Search by making us a Preferred Source.
