A Massachusetts lottery player won $1 million a year for life prize on a $50 scratch ticket that was bought in Springfield.

A man in Massachusetts became $2 million richer after buying two $1 million-winning lottery tickets, but by accident, according to Powerball.

“At the time, I never thought I’d win another top prize,” he told lottery officials. “Years later, I’m back again.” The man bought his most recent top-prize ticket at a gas station in Clements, according to lottery officials. He first grabbed some scratch-offs for $1 each, winning $20.

A lottery player used the same numbers for 16 years — and he’s finally a jackpot winner. Paul Bierwirth’s longtime tradition “paid off” when his go-to numbers were picked in a drawing, the North Carolina Education Lottery said in a news release shared with McClatchy News on July 18 via email.

A North Carolina man felt called to buy a lottery ticket last week and his intuition paid off in the form of a $1 million prize — of course, after taxes, that's not exactly how much he ended up taking home.

An Arkansas man scored a $50,000 prize from a scratch-off ticket less than a month after winning the same amount of money from the same lottery game.

A stop for something to drink proved lucrative for a South Carolina lottery player. In the “spur of the moment,” the thirsty man bought a $10 Money Madness Extra Play scratch-off game and a drink at the Countryside Easy Mart in Seneca, according to a July 18 news release from the South Carolina Education Lottery.
