Triple Lottery Winner Scoops over £600,000
Winning one big lottery prize is a great achievement. However, Mehmet Ozer from London as had three wins in the past 20 years, winning over £600,000.
Perfect End to a Year
The 50-year-old enjoyed his successes in three different lotteries. Between 1998 and 2019, wins came in EuroMillions, the UK Lotto and the Turkish National Lottery. His first win saw him scoop £300,000 making it a holiday to Turkey and a New Year’s Eve that he’ll never forget.
His lottery windfall was put to good use as he helped his family. A house was paid and university fees. He probably though that he’d never win a big lottery prize again but how wrong could he be?
Now that’s a Lucky Dip
Fast forward to 2016 and he bought a lottery ticket in Islington, London when he ran a business. His friend was ahead of him in the line to buy tickets. Mehmet bought a EuroMillions Lucky Dip just as his friend did. However, his ticket was the one that won him £303,465.20.
It was the day after the draw that he found out he’d had another lottery win. He couldn’t believe it when seeing that his ticket had matched all five numbers and one Lucky Star. Multiple checks of his EuroMillions ticket were made before accepting he’d had another massive piece of lottery luck.
His friend couldn’t believe it either. This time, Mehmet used his winnings to go to Rome for the first time and buy a flat in London.
Surely, he couldn’t get a third lottery win? But in 2019 he did just that, this time winning £1,750 playing the UK Lotto. The woman who gave him some champagne and his cheque had no idea of his previous successes. She told him how people who win the lottery have more chances of winning again.
He’s still waiting for a fourth big lottery win to come along. Perhaps it might be in tonight’s EuroMillions draw that has a jackpot of £14 million after a ticket sold in Spain won €77,959,528 last Friday.
