Truly Beating The Odds

I think you can officially say that Patrick and Rita Hagner of Davenport have beaten the odds!
 
I blogged earlier here about two top-prize winning tickets in Iowa’s $100,000 Cash Game being sold at the same Quad-Cities convenience store. Well, Patrick and Rita stepped forward Thursday and claimed both prizes for a grand total of $200,000!   
   
Patrick bought both of the tickets at the Hawkeye Convenience Store, 6807 Northwest Blvd. in Davenport. The tickets both matched all five numbers drawn in the Dec. 2 drawing to win the game’s top prize.

It’s unusual for there to be two top-prize winning tickets in a single drawing, and this situation is even more unusual because both tickets were sold at the same store.

The winning numbers in the Dec. 2 drawing of Iowa’s $100,000 Cash Game were: 3-7-12-16-22. Rita picked the numbers they played and Patrick bought the tickets. He said he just followed a feeling when he bought two plays of the same numbers for the same drawing.

Patrick and Rita both say they definitely know they are lucky! Click here to read more about their incredible story.
