A lucky Brazilian man wins a big jackpot twice a year

A Brazilian man has become the envy of lottery players everywhere after winning the national lottery twice in one year.

The man, who has been identified as João, won a total of R$10 million (approximately $1.8 million USD) across his two wins.

João's lucky streak began earlier in the year when he won R$4 million (approximately $720,000 USD) in the lottery. Just months later, he struck it lucky again, winning an additional R$6 million (approximately $1.1 million USD).

The odds of winning the lottery once are already slim, but the chances of winning twice in the same year are incredibly rare.

João's incredible stroke of luck has made him a household name in Brazil, and he has stated that he plans to use his winnings to take care of his family and invest in his future.
