A lucky man has scooped nearly £120,000 on the lottery after buying 30 tickets that all came up trumps.
Ironically, Dana Bickham achieved exactly the same feat in May last year.
On that occasion he won £98,0000 ($125,000) with 25 winning tickets in the same Pick 4 draw.
Dana – who lives in Suffolk, Virginia, US – played the four-digit combination of 3-5-6-8.

In his latest win, he played the combination 1-1-2-9.
According to the Virginia Lottery, the chances of matching all four numbers in exact order are 1 in 10,000.

In a statement on 10 January, a lottery spokesperson said Bickham had won £118,000 ($150,000) on the draw on 28 September 2023.
The cash prize for matching the winning numbers in the Pick 4 game is £3,930 ($5,000).

As he bought 30 tickets, the prize was multiplied by that amount.
After collecting his prize at the lottery headquarters last week, Dana said he was stumped that he’d won for a second time.
He said: “I thought ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.”
