A couple in Arkansas nabbed two winning lottery tickets on a fishing trip.

Arkansas Lottery Commission stated Stephen and Terri Weaver while on fishing trip purchased two lottery tickets from T-Ricks convenience store in Pangburn, one on the way to their trip and other on the way back.

Both tickets turned out to be winners and the couple claimed over $1M prize money on Monday to pay bills and investment for their retirement.

"We pick up a couplet tickets on the weekend when we go to our cabin on the river," said Terri, an office manager with a water company. "It's a weekly thing. We just pick up a few here and a few there."

"I almost had a heart attack," said Stephen, who owns a plumbing company. "I had to have an aspirin."

While Stephen wanted to return home after learning of the win, Terri hoped to stay for the weekend.

"He thought he should sleep with it under his pillow," Terri said. "He ended up locking it in the truck."

It's almost unheard of for a couple to win the lottery twice, never mind the short time span. It's not known whether the couple was just as "lucky" on their fishing trip.
