Man plays same number on 20 lottery tickets, wins $90K
Virginia Lottery: Man plays same number on 20 lottery tickets, wins $90K
Rating:
A North Carolina man has a knack for picking the winning number for Virginia Lottery drawings.
The Virginia Lottery said Wednesday that Steve Granger of Henderson, N.C., won $90,800 in Sunday night's Pick 4 drawing by playing the same number combination, 5-1-1-7, on 20 tickets.
Sixteen tickets each won $5,000 because Granger wagered "exact order" on them. The other four tickets each won $2,700 because he wagered "50/50" on them.
Granger said if he has a feeling about a number, he'll play it.
Granger had won $900,000 in the lottery's Cash 5 drawing on Sept. 28, 2005.

Gut feeling is the KEY to winning. If it says don't play, you don't, and if it says PLAY IT! Then proceed :) Lottoism: Free pick 3 & Pick 4 predictions.

Congrats to him! That is definitely a lot of money to put down on one number, but I bet he is happy he did. "No one remembers the person who almost climbed the mountain, only the person who eventually gets to the top."

Play like you mean it.  Modern "education" teaches a version of history so fictionalized, it should be followed by "TM"
They're warning me about Osama or whatever. Picture me buying the scam; I say "never!".

I see this done A LOT usually to avoid taxes if it comes out BOX or if a Pick-3 STR comes out. If you have one good number instead of several iffy ones you are better off that way. The catch is in pari-mutuel if you win that many you will water down the prize; I guess they have fixed payouts.
