im pretty sure they have the maths wrong, this is the prize for the bonus raffle draw, and thats 10 chances in how ever many people bought tickets in that draw. not the base odds of winning euro millions.

If I play and win Lucky for Life tonight I will get $5.7M which after taxes ends up being around $3M which is what this lucky couple have won. I will go for it.

You see!!!

This is absolute proof that it's WAY TOO EASY for winners! These people could take a trip to America and win 10 consecutive Powerball jackpots with the greatest of ease, even if they bought their tickets in North Dakota.

The reaction of many Guardian readers is unbelievable, and they call themselves progressives?

Read the comments after the article on the Guardian's website. It is sad that people can not just be happy for the lucky couple.

Am not surprise they won again and they should not be. Winning the first time is the difficult part because you play little . winning the second time is easy because you are spending $1000 more a month than you use to. Just like riding a bicycle you start from gear one hard but gear two or three or four get easier but don't let illusion of success fool you the high up you go the easier to fall of the high wall so be happy for now.

283 billion to one. Please do not count on winning again. It is difficult to win once in a life time.

Great story though. Thanks Guardian and Lottery Post Staff

British couple win £1m in lottery draw for second time in two years

A UK couple who have won 1m (US$1.5 million) in the EuroMillions lottery for the second time have said they just can't believe it .

David and Kathleen Long from Scunthorpe, who won their first 1m in 2013, scooped a big money prize again on Friday night, beating odds of more than 283bn to one.

Long said he just knew it would be my turn again some day as the couple become the first people to win 1m twice who have gone public.
