Brothers' lottery numbers win jackpot after 40 years
Published in Weird News
(UPI) Three Australian brothers won a lottery jackpot of nearly $400,000 after playing the same set of numbers for 40 years.
The three brothers from Richmond, Victoria, told The Lott officials their ticket for Saturday's TattsLotto drawing bore a set of numbers that was very familiar to the family.
"We play every week! We've been playing these same numbers for 40 years," one of the brothers said. I don't remember why we chose these numbers exactly. All I know was 40 years ago we each wrote down numbers and selected a ticket to play. We've been playing ever since.
The numbers earned the brothers a jackpot totaling $364,904.79.
"Once I realized it was true, I had the honor and pleasure of telling my brothers we were division one winners," the man said. It was a great feeling to be able to call them and let them know.
