Dana Bickham, a fortunate individual, recently secured a windfall of nearly £120,000 through the lottery, having purchased 30 tickets, all of which turned out to be winners.
Interestingly, this marks the second time Dana has achieved such a feat, as he previously won £98,000 ($125,000) in May last year with 25 winning tickets in the same Pick 4 draw.
Hailing from Suffolk, Virginia, Dana chose the four-digit combination 3-5-6-8 in his previous win and 1-1-2-9 in his latest success.
The Virginia Lottery notes the odds of matching all four numbers in exact order at 1 in 10,000. According to a statement from the lottery spokesperson on January 10, Dana Bickham secured a £118,000 ($150,000) win in the draw held on September 28, 2023.

The monetary reward for successfully matching the winning numbers in the Pick 4 game amounted to £3,930 ($5,000).
Given Dana’s purchase of 30 tickets, the prize was consequently multiplied by that quantity. Upon receiving his prize at the lottery headquarters the previous week, Dana expressed his astonishment at winning for a second time, stating, “I thought, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’”
Dana acquired his winning tickets from the Holiday Food Store on North Main Street in Suffolk.
He mentioned selecting the four-digit combination because he “had a good feeling about it” and intends to utilize his cash prize for travel.
