A reclusive maths genius who won $20 million on scratchies is either the luckiest person on earth or knows something the rest of us don't.

Her luck is being called into question by some who think winning the lottery four times is more than just a coincidental spell of good fortune.

Joan R. Ginther from Texas won multi-million dollar payouts each time.

The reclusive Ms Ginther, 63, who has amassed $US20 million ($19.7m) through scratchies, is a Stanford-educated maths genius who may have cracked the code that determines how winning tickets are distributed.

First, she won $5.4 million, then a decade later, she won $2million, then two years later $3million and in the summer of 2010, she hit a $10million jackpot.

The odds of this has been calculated at one in 18 septillion and luck like this could only come once every quadrillion years.
