I don't agree with the figure about winning the lottery twice. If someone had a chance of winning it, say 2,000,000,000 to one, the next time, and all subsequent times that person bought a ticket (assuming the same details to compute the original odds were in effect) and would not change. Stats 101. The reason it does not happen often is the buyer is still up against such large odds to win in the first place, not, that the odds to win magically increase.
About the other stuff - it has been covered in previous threads.
