Chesapeake Man Buys 32 Tickets For The Same Drawing – And They All Win!

July 28, 2006

Sandy Wyatt of Chesapeake had a good day on Thursday, July 27, 2006 – a VERY good day. First, he won $1,200 in the Virginia Lottery’s Pick 4 day drawing. So he decided to follow that up by buying 32 tickets for that night’s drawing, all with the same four numbers 7-5-3-8.

“I just had a feeling,” he later told Virginia Lottery officials.

That night, the numbers 7-5-3-8 just happened to be the winning numbers. Of his 32 tickets, 30 won the game’s top prize of $5,000, because he wagered “exact order” for them. The other two tickets each won $2,600 because he wagered “50/50,” which means the tickets would have won if the numbers were drawn in any order. His total for the night drawing came to $155,200 – and that is not even including the $1,200 he won in the day drawing!

“I looked at the winning numbers and I almost fainted,” Mr. Wyatt said. “My knees got weak.”

Mr. Wyatt, who works in road paving, bought the tickets at Great Bridge Texaco, located at 925 Great Bridge Blvd. in Chesapeake. He hopes to use his winnings to start his own business.

He would have Won how much: with the same Bets on Betslips.com?

30 x $9000 = $270,000 + 2 x $375 = $750

$270,750

Betslips has a limit on how many times you can Bet on any one Combination?

My sentiments exactly. Betslips will let you play any number 1 time in any combination. The only time you can make out really well is when you hit triples or quads. Then you get paid 2 times straight. It makes sense though. It limits their liability. Which isn't a bad thing.

i started a big push here a while back for everyone who played at betslips to e-mail them and ask for a multi bet feature where you can bet on one number more than once.betslips has yet to add this feature and i don't know if they ever will.the quarter store does have this feature and thats why i think it would be to betslips advantage to add this feature.

todd does not reccommend 5D.he reccommends betslips.the reason he choses to not to support 5D is because there have been reports of people not getting paid when they win there sometimes.there have been people who have been paid at 5D but also reports of some who haven't.i honestly don't think that if i bet 5 times on a pick 4 number and win 45,000 dollars i doubt very seriously if 5D will pay that.they don't have a very good reputation.

My best friend won $45000 last year. She had the money in her account that evening. Everytime I've ever won on 5d I get my money within a couple of hours after they calculate it. It worked fine for me. I have several friends who play there.

I'm sure glad it wasn't on Lose for Life. I don't think he could have gotten $32,000 a week.
