10 People Who Won the Lottery More Than Once (2 of 6)

Steven Antal: 3 wins

By 2023, Steven Antal from Ontario had celebrated his third major lottery win, this time picking up CA$550,000. What makes it extra wild is that he’d already hit CA$250,000 in 2018 and CA$100,000 in 2019. The odds of winning the Bigger Spin jackpot are steep, which makes the repeat-win feel almost suspiciously scripted, except it wasn’t.

Melvyn Wilson: 4 wins

Melvyn Wilson’s streak reads like he found a scratchcard portal to an alternate reality where every ticket is a winner. It started with $25,000 in 2004. Nice, but it won’t get you through life. Then, in the next year alone, he hit two more Virginia Lottery wins: $1 million and $500,000. Because apparently once you’re hot, you’re hot. Years later, in 2013, he added another $500,000 win to the pile, this one also via a scratchcard. When asked what he does with all that money, he gave the most confident answer possible: he “invests in Melvyn.”
