幸運兒! 澳洲一男子竟然在一週內中兩次彩票

A stunned Sydney man who was celebrating an Australian lottery windfall could not believe it when he won again less than a week later.

悉尼一名男子在慶祝自己中彩票大發橫財之際，他肯定不會想到，他在此後不到一週的時間裏居然會再次中彩票。

The unidentified man, in his 40s and from the suburb of Bondi, picked up Aus$1,020,487 on May 7th and then scooped another Aus$1,457,834 on May 12th.

這名未具身份的男子現年40多歲，來自邦迪郊區。他於7日贏得1020487澳元，之後於12日又贏得了1457834澳元。

"I just thought this is too good to be true," he said after being informed of his good fortune.

在被通知中彩後他表示：“我只是覺得這事好得令人難以置信。”

"The chances of winning twice in such a short period of time must be non-existent. I wish I had some advice to others on how to win the lottery, but I don't."

“能在這麼短的時間內中兩次彩的機會肯定微乎其微，我很希望自己能爲其他人提供一些如何中彩的建議，可我沒有。”

Asked what he would do with the cash, he said he plans to invest in some Sydney real estate, buy a new car and "a holiday to Honolulu".

當被問及怎麼用這筆錢時，該男子稱，打算用它來投資部分悉尼房產，買輛新車，再去檀香山度個假。

Lottery organizers could not estimate the likelihood of winning twice in a week, but the odds of winning once are one in 1.845 million.

彩票的供應方無法估計在一週內兩次中獎的可能性，但一次中獎的機率是184.5萬分之一。

"We don't know of anyone else who has won twice in a week," NSW Lotteries spokesman Matt Hart told AFP.

新南威爾士彩票公司的發言人馬特·哈特向《法新社》透露：“我們不知道還有誰在一週內中了兩次彩票。”
