'In other words, having previously won the lottery does not improve or make less likely the chance of winning the lottery in the future.'
'If someone already wins the lottery, then the chance that the person wins the lottery a second time will be exactly the same as the probability they win the lottery if they had not previously won the lottery before,' Glickman said. (Just ask multiple winners like Peggy Dodson, who in 2019 won a $1 million jackpot with a 'Max-a-Million' scratch-off lottery ticket from the same Pennsylvania convenience store where she had purchased another scratch-off ticket that was a $100,000 winner only two years earlier.) In fact, even if you've won the lottery once before, you still have the same odds of winning the next drawing as anyone else who buys a ticket.
Whether you play the lottery every day, or you're buying your first-ever lottery ticket on a lark, the odds of winning any individual drawing or scratch-off ticket remain the same. That's because the odds of winning any given lottery remain the same despite the numbers selected or even if you buy a ticket for every drawing.
