10 People Who Won the Lottery More Than Once (3 of 6)

Calvin and Zatera Spencer: 4 wins

Calvin and Zatera Spencer quickly achieved their winning streak as if there were no tomorrow. In March 2014, they racked up three wins in about a month. First, they won a $1 million Powerball prize, followed by a $50,000 win in a Pick 4 game, and then another $1 million win in a scratch-off. At that point, one might consider themselves fortunate and consider retiring, but Calvin took a different approach, essentially declaring they weren’t done yet. And sure enough, in 2017, he added another $100,000 win in a Cash 5 drawing. A bit of an underwhelming conclusion, but a win is a win.

Joan R. Ginther: 4 wins

Joan R. Ginther is often labeled “the luckiest woman in the world,” and the reason is simple: four major wins, all in Texas. Her first win in 1993 landed her $5.4 million. Then she followed it with $2 million a decade later, $3 million two years after that, and finally $10 million in 2008. That’s a bit over $20 million. The plot twist is that she’s a former math professor with a PhD in statistics, which has made people endlessly speculate about whether she had some kind of system or whether everyone just needs to stop trying to make probability behave like a fairytale.
