One of the oldest couples to ever win a Canadian lottery say their only plans for the $7. 5 million jackpot is to buy a new pair of nylons for her and a Lincoln car for him. Thelma and Victor Hayes, both 89, have been married for 63 years and had played the same numbers for years. This time, they decided to go for a quick pick of random figures for the August 6 draw, Canadian media reported on Tuesday.

Donna Goeppert has defied all odds against her - taking home the lotto jackpot, not once, but twice - in the same year. Goeppert, a Pennsylvania resident, won $1 million playing a Pennsylvania Lottery scratch-off ticket earlier this year. She tried again, and won another million dollar prize.

If you want to increase your chances of winning the lottery, you might consider heading to the Show Me State. For the third time, a south St. Louis QuikTrip store makes a local resident a millionaire. The convenience store is located at 8205 Gravois and its most recent winner came on April 9th for $1. 3 million. A Spokesman for the Missouri Lottery says, "This is one lucky location. " Besides the lucky winner being paid handsomely, the store selling a winning ticket gets a 1-percent bonus - or $13,000 in this case. The same store sold winning tickets in June 1995 ($4. 4 million) and December 1996 ($1. 6-million). The latest winner has until Oct. 6 to come forward, since Missouri Lotto winners have 180 days to claim their jackpot.
