Bookmakers: More chance of finding Elvis alive than winning the lottery twice

While there are rumours that other people have won big sums of money twice but opted to remain anonymous, winning £1 million twice is highly unlikely.

Events that bookmaker William Hill believes have odds of a million to one - a lot smaller than 283 billion to one - include David Cameron winning the 100 metres at the 2016 Olympic Games, Jeremy Clarkson riding the winner of the Grand National, and the royal baby captaining the England football, cricket and rugby sides and also winning Wimbledon.

According to Ladbrokes, there is more chance of Simon Cowell becoming prime minister at any time with odds of 10,000/1, Elvis being found alive this year at 50,000/1, England to win the next three World Cups at 2,500/1, and the royal baby being called Wayne at 500/1.

A spokesman for the bookmaker said: "Given the odds suggest it's far more likely Elvis is found alive this year, it's fair to say this couple have the lucky touch."
