Lorry Driver Wins $1.4 Million Lottery Jackpot By MISTAKE And It's His Second Windfall

Stuart and Denise Powell celebrate his unusual win for the second time in 4 years.

A bungling shop assistant sold Britain's luckiest lorry driver the wrong ticket, but Denis Powell had the last laugh when he ended up celebrating his second lottery win.

Incredibly, the Staffordshire lorry driver became a double winner after banking a £55,000 (US$70,000) win from the UK National Lottery in 2011.

His latest win came after he went to buy a ticket for a Friday draw, only for a Co-op worker to sell him one for the following Tuesday, reported The Mirror.

He was initially angry at the mix-up but his frustration turned to joy after winning the UK Millionaire Maker Draw on November 24.

The dad-of-three is planning to celebrate by treating himself to a £38 nail gun from national chain store B&Q - and has no plans to give up work.

He has vowed to give all of the cash to his three sons and other relatives - just as he did with his first lotto win.

Stuart, married to wife Denise, 44, said: ""To think I have won it twice is just unbelievable. It's the stuff of dreams.

"Everyone is taking the mickey out of me because I don't want anything. But I'm happy as long as everyone else is. She's got her car, I've got the nail gun.

"I've been a truck driver for three years and I've no plans to stop. I've already asked for extra shifts and I've got ten this week."
