A couple in Arkansas had a great haul on a fishing trip that they recently took together. The couple, Stephen and Terri Weaver, “were on a fishing trip when they stopped to buy [a lottery] ticket at T-Ricks convenience store in Pangburn…[t]hey stopped at the same store on their way home and bought another ticket.” It is unclear whether the couple actually caught any fish that day, but they did manage to win the lottery twice in one day from the same store. One the tickets that the couple purchased was worth a $1 Million prize and the other ticket was worth a $50,000 prize. The Weavers claimed their prize and they plan to use the money to invest in their retirement and pay their bills.
