When Andrew Burke learned he had won the lottery last month, he knew he was about to win it again. Burke was at the Fas Gas in Calmar, Alta., where he regularly buys lottery tickets, when he asked the clerk to check his ticket. So in effect, he split the draw's top prize of $5 million, which he would have won regardless, with himself. "Two people won the lottery," he said. All he's ever wanted from a lottery win is to keep his home in the town 22 kilometres southwest of Edmonton, restore his Land Rover and retire — which he did four days after his win, Burke said.
