A glum-looking man has scooped the lottery after using the same numbers for nine years.

The long-faced winner is seen collecting the cheque for £393,885 ($500,000) from a lottery official in the photo.

However, he was apparently miffed that he was just one digit away from winning the huge jackpot.

He chose 12 as his Lucky Ball number, but 13 came up – unlucky for some.

Billy Glenn told lottery officials: “I was that close to getting it all.”

He bought a Kentucky Lottery Lucky For Life ticket and matched all five white balls on the draw on 19 November.

His numbers, which he selects based on anniversaries and shirt numbers for his favourite Major League Baseball players, were 7, 10, 17, 24 and 26.

Despite narrowly missing out on the Lucky Ball number, Glenn scooped £19,699 ($25,000) a year for a minimum of 20 years.

Glenn, who comes from Lexington City in Kentucky, US, said he has been consistently playing the same numbers since Lucky For Life launched in the state in March 2015.

He said: “I’ve been playing for nine years, seven months and 29 days.

“I’ve just been waiting for the dream.”

Glenn reportedly chose the one-time payment option rather than receiving $25,000 for at least 20 years ($500,000).

The payout was £307,440 ($390,000), which broke down to £221,327 ($280,804.32) after taxes.

Glenn said he has had a difficult last six months and that the money will go towards paying off debts.

He told Kentucky Lottery: “It’s been a blessing, I’ve been stressing for the last six months.

“One hundred thousand dollars is going to put me at ground zero.

“This is a nice little reset.”

Glenn purchased his winning ticket at the BP petrol station on Southland Drive in Lexington.

The establishment will receive £3,940 ($5,000) for selling the winning ticket.

The odds of matching all five white balls and the Lucky Ball are roughly one in 30.8 million.

The odds of winning $25,000 per year are about 1 in 1.81 million, as reported by What’s The Jam.
