I find it interesting to learn how many people win more than one big prize. Back in the 1970s our neighbours won first prize in the casket. I think it was maybe about $7K but that was a lot of money back then. I have an idea it was about the same as my parents had paid for our house? I don't know what they did with it, had no children, didn't change anything in their lives.
About a year or three later they won a smaller prize (second or third) which was a lesser amount, but still substantial. Back then these prizes were drawn by hand from a barrel. I think someone removed numbers from a barrel like the lotto balls, but it was done by a person with officials watching, or something like that. We had a casket agency at the time but I cannot recall too much. Now it is all computer generated.
I've heard of several winners who have had two major wins and thought it would have been statistically impossible, but there you go...
