Winning the lottery is simply a matter of luck, but nothing out of the ordinary in the United States of America as lottery tickets are printed and sold every day. A man recently turned luck in his favour as he won the jackpot in the lottery, after waiting for this patiently for several decades.

The news of this man from the US winning the lottery and becoming a millionaire is going viral because of one extraordinary fact- he has been buying the lottery tickets with the same number sets for the past 30 years, since 1991.

The concept of lottery is based on sheer luck and there is no way to manipulate the system, but through his patience and stubbornness over the course of the past 30 years, this man kept buying lottery tickets with the same number set, hoping that one day, he will also become a millionaire.

The name of this 61-year-old man has not been disclosed in the media yet, though it is known that he is a resident of Michigan, USA. When the winning numbers of the lottery were announced, his patience over the last 30 years paid off.

While talking about his experience, he said, “I was buying tickets for the same set since 1991 but till date, the victory was not destined. I also thought about changing the number several times but then I stubbornly stayed on this set.”

He further said that he could not believe that he has won such a huge sum of money after keeping at it for decades. The total amount of money that he won comes out to be 18.41 million USD, which comes out to be around Rs. 1,36,48,77,818.

Out of the total sum of over 18 million dollars, the man has decided to take 11.7 million dollars in cash. He has also decided to give a certain amount of money to his family and donate some of it to charity while saving the rest of it.
