Each time the
29-year old petrol station attendant from tiny Austevoll island off Norway's
west coast gives birth, someone in her family wins the national lottery.
"This is
completely insane... we don't even play the lottery that often," Oksnes
said only days after the family collected 12.2 million crowns ($2.12 million)
with their third lottery win in six years.
Oksnes, who serves
hot dogs at a petrol station, gave birth to her first child in 2006 just one
day after her father Leif won 4.2 million crowns on the national lottery.
Three years later,
Oksnes herself won, claiming 8.2 million crowns one day before giving birth to
her second child.
To complete the
hat-trick, Oksnes' 18-year-old brother Tord won the very same lottery this
weekend, just months after she gave birth to her third child.
After three
children though, it may be time to call it quits.
"My husband
thinks we have enough money now," she said.
Oksnes bought new
cars with her winnings and did a bit of travelling, but has put most of the
money in the bank, hoping to find a dream property to build a new house.
