He's like a hero in the Keno world, Old Kip.
He laughs in the face of Lady Luck, hitting the "jackpot" twice, against these odds:
The probability of a player hitting the "jackpot" 20 numbers from 20 chosen is approximately 1 in 3.5 quintillion (1 in 3,535,316,142,212,180,000 to the exact).[7] If every person who ever inhabited planet Earth played one keno game every single second of their lives, there would be about one jackpot-winning ticket to date. If all these possible keno tickets were laid end to end, they would span the Milky Way galaxy -- and only one of them would be a winner
He figures summiting is just a luck game, and Kip knows luck
