The lottery grand prize that millions of people around the world dream of knocked on the door of a couple living in Canada for the second time. Angelina and Edward Lado achieved extraordinary luck by winning the grand prize once again eight years after the $2.5 million they won in 2018.
THEY WON $675,000 WITH A $4 TICKET
The couple's second big win came from a scratch-off ticket called “Set for Life” that they purchased for only $4. Angelina and Edward Lado, who won the grand prize, were faced with the option of receiving the prize over 25 years at $1,000 a week or taking a lump-sum payment.
The couple chose the lump-sum payment option, totaling $675,000.
HE COULDN'T BELIEVE HIS WIFE'S WORDS
Edward Lado, who learned that they had won the grand prize for the second time, described his astonishment. Lado stated that at first he couldn't believe it when his wife told him they had won, and said he asked his wife to stay calm until he got home and checked the ticket.
THEIR FIRST WIN HAD CHANGED THEIR LIVES
The couple, who emigrated from South Sudan to Canada, had also made headlines with the $2.5 million they won in 2018. At that time, Edward Lado said that hope had arisen that he could find his mother, whom he had not seen since infancy, and bring her to Canada.
The second grand prize, which came eight years later, offered the family new opportunities for their children's future. The couple stated that they would not rush to decide how to use their latest winnings.
The story of the couple, who won the grand prize twice eight years apart, has made them virtually “the luckiest couple in the world.”
