Welsh Couple Beat 24 Trillion to One Odds With Second £1m Lottery Win
A Welsh couple has defied staggering odds to win a £1 million lottery jackpot for the second time in under eight years. Richard Davies and Faye Stevenson-Davies matched five numbers plus the bonus ball in the UK National Lottery’s Bonus Ball draw on 26 November 2025. The probability of such a double win stands at over 24 trillion to one.
The couple first struck gold in 2017, but their latest windfall came after a chain of four draws in late November. Despite their fortune, they chose not to alter their lifestyle after the initial win. Richard still volunteers at Haircuts4Homeless in Cardiff, while Faye continues cooking at Cegin Hedyn community kitchen in Carmarthen and offering mental health support.
At first, they hesitated to publicise their second win. Eventually, they decided to share the news to lift spirits during a difficult time. Their first win had already made a difference—they gave money to friends, supported local causes, and donated a minibus to a rugby club. This time, they plan to take their time with the money. No rushed spending is on the horizon, though they intend to keep helping others as they always have.
The couple’s second £1 million prize confirms their extraordinary luck. Both remain committed to their volunteer work, ensuring their good fortune benefits the community. Their story has brought a rare moment of joy to many in Wales.
