The Alexandria, Virginia resident played the Pick 4 game and actually found a way to win 20 times in one week. So what did Newell do? What was the winning strategy that made him so much money? We’ll tell you his story.

Newell used to buy his Pick 4 game tickets at a local store in Alexandria until one day he decided to change his routine and buy lottery tickets online, according to The Sun. That was the first step that changed his luck.

Strategy or luck?

The man not only purchased the tickets online for the Pick 4 game, but also used a particular strategy. He bought 20 identical lottery tickets, that is, they all had the same combination of four numbers: 5-4-1-1. Luck smiled on him and he won 20 times! Newell did not specify why he chose those numbers.

The Pick 4 game establishes a fixed prize amount so each winning ticket wins the entire jackpot. What does this mean? If you have multiple tickets with the same winning number then you win the prize on each ticket.

What’s the bad news? Well… buying multiple identical tickets will not increase your chance of winning the drawing. So it’s up to you: Play different numbers to have more chances to win or play identical numbers to increase the amount you win. What do you prefer?

Lottery experts say that Newell just got lucky picking the winning combination and boy did it work! A week after the draw, the Virginia man learned that he had won $5,000 per ticket, for a total of $100,000 dollars! according to El Diario.

“Feels good, no question about it!” the retired man commented on his hot streak, though he also added that he still didn’t know what he would spend the prize money on. Remember, playing online is also an option! Still, 70% of ticket sales are still made in physical stores.

Kevin Hall, executive director of the Virginia Lottery, said that people “have really taken advantage of the convenience of playing the lottery from their smartphones, tablets or computers” and that they are “constantly looking for innovative and convenient ways to meet customer expectations.”
