Second Big Win in 18 Months for Minnesota Man

We all dream of winning a big prize on the lottery, right? Few dream or expect a second big win, let alone two in 18 months. That is what happened to one man from Plymouth in Minnesota (USA). In summer of 2015, Anthony Fusaro won $1m (around £780,000) and felt all his dreams had come true. However, like many other lottery players, he carried on playing his favourite lottery game. He didn’t expect to win and 17 months later in October 2016, he had his second big win. This time, the prize value was around $874,000 or £701,000. He decided to carry on playing as he always felt a second was due despite the previous big win.
