Couple Wins Lotto Twice in 1 Weekend - chairman - 02-05-2013
An Arkansas couple struck gold twice after winning $1 million and $50,000 jackpots, both of them during this past weekend.
Stephen, 54, and Terri Weaver, 55, of Stuttgart, Ark., left on Friday for a weekend trip to a cabin near Greers Ferry Lake, over 100 miles away. On Saturday evening, they stopped at T-Ricks convenience store in the nearby city of Pangburn. Stephen bought five $1 Million Riches instant scratch-off tickets while his wife bought four.

[size=14px]"We pick up a couple tickets on the weekend when we go to our cabin on the river," said [color=rgb(54, 99, 136)]Terri[/color], an office manager with a water company. "It's a weekly thing. We just pick up a few here and a few there."[/size]
