Winning the lottery once is rare enough. For one couple it’s now happened twice. Richard Davies, 49, and his wife, Faye Stevenson-Davies, 43, have become two-time winners after collecting a second £1 million ($1.3 million) prize from the United Kingdom’s National Lottery, CNN reported. The couple first struck it rich in 2018 after winning the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker draw. On Tuesday, they found themselves back in the winners’ circle again—a phenomenon so rare that experts told CNN the odds of pulling it off twice are roughly 1 in 24 trillion, or 2.6 billion times less likely than being struck twice by lightning. Despite their jaw-dropping luck, Davies and Stevenson-Davies, from Brecon, in Wales, say their lives aren’t about to change dramatically. They told CNN they plan to keep working even on Christmas Day. Davies will continue to clock seven days a week as a mail courier, while Stevenson-Davies works as a mental health professional. After their first win, the couple said they spent a portion of the money helping friends and family and making charitable donations. This time around, they’re keeping their plans open-ended. “This time, who knows?” they said. “We’ll take our time and enjoy the moment.”
