A lucky Indiana resident wins second jackpot in three years recently

An Indiana man has defied the odds by winning his second lottery jackpot in just three years. Robert Hamilton, of Indianapolis, won $1 million in the state's Hoosier Lottery earlier this month, just three years after he won a $50,000 Powerball prize.

Hamilton's latest win came from a scratch-off ticket he purchased at a local convenience store. He opted to take the lump sum of $657,000 after taxes.

Hamilton said he plans to use the money to pay off his bills, buy a new home, and save for his retirement.

The odds of winning two lottery jackpots in such a short amount of time are incredibly rare.

According to lottery officials, the odds of winning a $1 million Hoosier Lottery prize are approximately 1 in 2.1 million.

Despite his remarkable luck, Hamilton says he doesn't plan to continue playing the lottery regularly.
