It is not totally unusual. It should not happen though. It means that your carburetor is leaking gas through while the mower is not running. It will fill the cylinder and get into the oil. A quick fix is to get an inline gas shutoff valve and just shut off the gas when you are not using the mower. Otherwise you will need to rebuild the carburetor to fix the problem. You will also have to clear out all the gas from the cylinder and if it got into the oil you will need to drain and change the oil.

Without knowing what engine or what kind of mower it is this is just a guess. But, it is possible that your flywheel and/or coil have gotten rusty and are not getting the conact that they need to make the spark. Try removing the cover and sanding the flywheel and coil. If it is a riding mower with a key switch there are many possibilities including anything from a bad switch to one of the safety switches.

Will an ignition switch keep a lawn mower engine from sparking?
Generally the ignition switch activates headlights on a riding mower and the start position only send current to the starter solenoid. If you turn the key and the engine cranks over than the lack of spark is going to be something else. If it is a riding mower you will have several safety switches to prevent start up under unsafe conditions.
