London, Nov 7 (ANI): A South African man has scooped lottery jackpot twice in seven years.

The 34-year-old, who has asked to remain anonymous, came forward recently to claim 2.4 million pounds on South Africa’s PowerBall draw - less than a decade after he collected 880,000 pounds in a previous competition, reports The Telegraph.

Thembi Tulwana, spokesman for South Africa’s Lottery operator Gidani, said: “It’s simply incredible. The odds on him winning twice were galactic. I have no idea what his secret is. He’s just a lucky bloke.”

The double winner is believed to be a successful businessman from South Africa’s Limpopo province. (ANI)
