Can you determine the odds of this occurrence?

Hint: It is not just picking the correct combination of numbers twice, but picking the correct combination on consecutive days.

Man wins $25,000 lottery two days in row



Fri Feb 16, 3:59 PM ET

MAPLEWOOD, Minn. - 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."
