His double-tap on the wrong button won nearly $900,000

Allan Taylor pressed the wrong button buying a lottery ticket online, and the mistake earned him nearly $900,000. The 65-year-old from Derbyshire, England, accidentally subscribed to two tickets for the Postcode Lottery instead of one. When his postcode, S42 6AE in Tupton, came up in last Saturday's Millionaire Street draw, he collected two checks worth £333,333 each. "I must have ticked it twice when I was subscribing," Taylor said. "This was the best mistake I've ever made." His wife, Bev, recalled noticing the duplicate ticket and asking him why he had two. He said he didn't know. The windfall is the year's biggest single-player prize for the lottery, and it lands just weeks after the couple retired early in March. Bev, a former dementia mental health nurse, said she still can't believe it. Taylor, a car fan, has always wanted an Aston Martin. At his age, he figures he could get in, but might not get out.
