Hey, Millionaire! We all know how hard it is to win the lottery. You're pretty lucky if you can
win a big jackpot just once. But there are an elite few who win more than once. In fact, they
win a lot more than once. All the people in this video have won the lottery more than 100 times!
And some went a step further and won more than 1,000 times! It's crazy but true! If
you think that's impossible, we're going to prove you wrong. Some of the winning
streaks in this list will blow your mind. But while some of these winners are just lucky,
a few of these stories have a few secrets behind them. Want to find out how these people won the
lottery hundreds or thousands of times? Then keep watching! We'll let you in on all their secrets.
Nadine Vukovich Nadine Vukovich is
a kind-hearted veterinarian from Pennsylvania who dedicates all her time to healing animals.
Maybe doing all that good work earned her enough positive karma to win the lottery as many times
as she wants - because her winning streak is seriously impressive. She's cashed in 209
winning tickets so far! She started getting lucky in 2004, and it continued until 2016 - every time,
she was cashing in scratch-off tickets worth at least $600. That doesn't sound hugely impressive,
but they all added up to a whopping $348,000! Of course, this made some people pretty suspicious.
But when the auditor general looked into it, they found nothing fishy was going on! With
so many legit lottery wins, Nadine might be one of the luckiest people on earth.
Clarance W Jones This Massachusetts man started making
headlines when someone realized he was cashing in a mind-blowing amount of winning scratch-off
tickets. Over the course of 10 years, Clarance W Jones redeemed more than 10,000 winning tickets!
He claimed he achieved this unbelievable winning streak by inventing a methodology for winning. He
never revealed this method fully, but he did say that he buys tickets from the middle of the pack
and from stores that already had a big win from a ticket they sold. Over the years, he collected an
incredible $18 million in lottery winnings! And it was going great... until the IRS got suspicious.
It turned out the 80-year-old, and two co-conspirators were involved in a "10-percent"
scheme. To pull off this 10-percent scam, Clarance used his accomplices - who were two shop owners
who sold lottery tickets. These shop owners would buy winning tickets from the rightful owners,
and Clarance would collect the winnings as if they were his. He'd then reflect these winnings
on his tax return, but because he called himself a professional gambler, he'd offset those winnings
with all his gambling losses, so he hardly paid any tax on the millions he was collecting from
the lottery. If you're wondering why the winners were willing to sell their tickets to Clarance,
there's a simple answer: even though they were selling him the tickets at a little less than they
were worth, they were avoiding paying taxes on the winnings, which would've been even more costly.
Clarence and his two accomplices were put on trial for defrauding the IRS. According to court
documents, Clarance had paid just $16,000 in taxes on a reported $52,000 of reported
income between 2011 and 2017, even though he'd actually cashed in $486,000 worth of
lottery tickets in 2017 alone! Some of his wins might have been genuine,
but still, this doesn't look great. Clarence spent just 2 months in prison for his crimes.

Angela Kouch Angela Kouch is
another suspiciously lucky lottery player who was busted for a discounting scam like Clarance. She
was California's second luckiest lottery player and cashed in 174 tickets between 2004 and 2007
before she was busted. She might have got away with it if she wasn't buying the tickets from
her own store - MJB Video. Stupidly, she was also selling these winning tickets from her
store to one of her frequent customers. That customer, Jose Ruiz, was also showing up at the
lottery office with a suspicious number of winning tickets. When you think about it, she definitely
was lucky - not for winning the lottery, but for getting away with that scam for so long.
The Jaafar Family How many winning lottery tickets
do you need to cash in before the IRS starts getting suspicious? Well, the Jaafar family
managed 13,000. I know what you're thinking, and you're right - it was another 10-percenting
scheme. The Massachusetts family took home a total of $21 million before they were caught!
Ali Jafaar was the biggest winner, averaging 4 wins per day! Ali's sons were also in on the
action, cashing in extra tickets and deducting the wins from their tax returns too. But the
conspiracy goes even deeper. Apparently, some lottery agents were involved with their scheme,
taking home a cut of the winnings in exchange for not reporting the suspicious winning streak.
If you were wondering how they got away with it for so long, there's your answer.
But it didn't last. Despite the huge winnings, the family paid less than $24,000 in taxes,
so you can bet the courts didn't go lightly on them when they were finally caught. We don't know
what their sentencing was, but the charges carry a recommended sentence of nearly 30 years in prison!
What do you think about Ali getting his sons involved in this scam? Tell us in
the comments! And keep watching for some genuinely lucky people.
The Oksnes Family Okay, so this family's
winning streak isn't as giant as the other people on this list. But the story of their multiple wins
is so heartwarming, I just had to include them in this video! This Norwegian family won their
national lottery 3 times over six years. The first jackpot was won by the grandfather
of the family. Then his adult daughter, Hege Jeanette, won another jackpot. And finally,
her brother took home the prize. But what makes this interesting is the timing of each win.
Every single time the family hit a lottery jackpot, Hege Jeanette was either pregnant
or she had just welcomed a new baby into the family! I can't think of a better moment to
win big! Their prizes added up to a total of 24 million Kroner - that's over $3 million!
And finally, our top spot goes to not just one winner, but a whole group of extra lucky people!
The Ohio Seven The Ohio lottery had a pretty interesting run of
winners between 2014 and 2017. These 7 winners won the lottery more than 100 times each over those
three years! They were all buying their tickets from different cities around the state, but even
though they're not connected, their impressive winning streaks still earned them the nickname The
Ohio Seven. The luckiest winner got into a habit of playing Keno Booster at a bar that paid off big
time - he's allegedly won 150 times, taking home a total of $150,000! And Keno Booster was the lucky
game for other winners from the Ohio Seven, with Pick Four also paying out pretty often!
That shouldn't really surprise us, though - those games are known for their good odds of winning if
you play them right. I guess the Ohio Seven had the secret to winning those games because this
is another case of genuine mind-blowing winning streaks with no scam involved!
