'I Won Lotto Twice In One Week... Then I Won Powerball!
Woman's Day Australia|11 June 2018

Winning the lottery once is mind-blowing, but imagine if your numbers came up three times in 17 days, and you scooped $2.5 million!

'I Won Lotto Twice In One Week... Then I Won Powerball!

Former undertaker Carlos Massetti was at his lowest ebb, after a bitter marriage break-up, when he was given a new lease of life – the sort people down on their luck can only dream about!

Carlos’ System 11 entry won Lotto’s $1 million division one prize on Monday May 7, before he picked up another $1.457 million five days later, when Carlos tried his luck in Lotto again. If that wasn’t incredible enough, he won another $48,000 in a Powerball draw 12 days later.

“I broke down in tears when I won the $1 million,” he says, explaining how after he checked his numbers on a Lotto app, he had to wait 12 long and sleepless hours to speak to The Lott to “double-check the app wasn’t playing up”.
