Millionaires David and Kathleen Long from Scunthorpe pictured left when they won it the first in 2013 and right in 2015 The former lorry driver said today he was 'shocked'<br /> to win again but continued buying a ticket after their first million-pound win because 'I just knew<br /> it would be my turn again some day'.<br /> The couple, who married last year after a 12-year engagement, announced their win at their local pub in Scunthorpe where they put on a free bar for all their family and friends today. Last time the HGV driver and his now-wife won<br /> despite throwing their ticket in the bin in 2013. He then 'had the urge to fish it out' and was shocked to discover it was worth £1million.<br /> <br /> Mr Long said today: 'I tend to play when I know there are lots of prizes on the go. 'Last time I knew I had a good chance because<br /> there were 100 prizes of £1 million. Last Friday night I was passing the local shop and saw there<br /> were 10 £1 million prizes on euro millions and a nice car and thought yeah I'll give that a go. 'Got to be worth a few lines and I got five using my usual numbers.<br /> "On Saturday morning I sat down in front of our telly and started checking the numbers. On one line<br /> I'd matched two numbers and one star to get £7.20 and thought that's all right. 'Then I checked the raffle code s- something I've learnt to do automatically since winning last time. After a few moments I very calmly called Kath in and said 'Have a look at this. It's there. Look. Read<br /> that line'.'<br /> <a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CKn8ONf9m5M/VR2rj3vHlGI/AAAAAAAABZg/OcMguPvi1qk/s2560/1428007821908.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CKn8ONf9m5M/VR2rj3vHlGI/AAAAAAAABZg/OcMguPvi1qk/s350/1428007821908.jpeg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"/></a><br /> Mr Long said his wife checked the television and went online, adding: 'Then she went up right close<br /> to our television on the wall, put on her glasses and stared really hard at the raffle numbers. It<br /> seemed ages and then she finally said: 'You said you'd do it again and you have!' Everything has been<br /> a blur ever since. It's definitely taking longer to sink in this time!'<br /> Bookies told mail online today they could not find any bets on the planet that could match the 283 billion to one odds of a double lottery win.<br /> But one said an example of a million to one gamble would be for future king Prince George winning Wimbledon while also captaining the England rugby and cricket teams.<br /> A Camelot spokesman said: 'This is an extraordinary situation where somebody's been fortunate enough<br /> to win twice. As you can imagine, we see winners who win once who are very, very shocked. It must<br /> be even more shocking to win twice.'<br /> <br /> See photos of their Celebration:<br /> <br /> <a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-m0_tKtRYNr0/VR2rknJoUxI/AAAAAAAABZk/LX-si__1haI/s2560/1428007825230.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-m0_tKtRYNr0/VR2rknJoUxI/AAAAAAAABZk/LX-si__1haI/s350/1428007825230.jpeg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"/></a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-YOAxjIT7MUU/VR2roexPTlI/AAAAAAAABZs/2sPLIcBodGg/s2560/1428007838373.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-YOAxjIT7MUU/VR2roexPTlI/AAAAAAAABZs/2sPLIcBodGg/s350/1428007838373.jpeg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"/></a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QKGnEIYR1Eo/VR2rpRF-8nI/AAAAAAAABZ0/cRd5TR8MyIE/s2560/1428007843010.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QKGnEIYR1Eo/VR2rpRF-8nI/AAAAAAAABZ0/cRd5TR8MyIE/s350/1428007843010.jpeg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"/></a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bObHLvLK8vk/VR2rqbWFQdI/AAAAAAAABZ8/NisfuYaucj8/s2560/1428007847619.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bObHLvLK8vk/VR2rqbWFQdI/AAAAAAAABZ8/NisfuYaucj8/s350/1428007847619.jpeg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"/></a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-m0_tKtRYNr0/VR2rknJoUxI/AAAAAAAABZk/LX-si__1haI/s2560/1428007825230.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-m0_tKtRYNr0/VR2rknJoUxI/AAAAAAAABZk/LX-si__1haI/s350/1428007825230.jpeg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"/></a><br /> <br /> <br /> Culled from UK Daily Mail
