An airline pilot from Maplewood won a $25,000 lottery jackpot — two days in a row. Raymond Snouffer Jr. matched the winning numbers 11-14-23-26-31 to win Saturday's Northstar Cash drawing with odds of about 170,000 to 1, Minnesota Lottery officials said.

On Sunday, Snouffer stuck with 11 and switched to 3-7-19-28 — and won again.

Lottery officials said such a sequence was so farfetched that the odds against it were "virtually incalculable."

Sounds like some lottery officials could use a basic course in probablity and statisitics.

I got to say it would suck to win the lottery and only win $25,000. To win it twice and only win $50,000! Damn. You can be pretty sure your never going to win again.

Yea the odds against winning three days in a row are pretty remote. I'm guessing it will be at least a week till he wins again! ;) :D
