A fortunate man wins second time in past three years
A man from Lawrence County has defied the odds by winning the lottery for the second time in just three years.
The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, won a $2 million jackpot in the most recent drawing. He previously won $1 million in a different lottery game three years ago.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw the numbers match again," said the lucky winner. He plans to use his winnings to pay off his mortgage and invest in his retirement.
The odds of winning the lottery twice are incredibly low, but it seems luck was on this man's side. The lottery commission congratulated the winner on his rare achievement but also reminded players to play responsibly and within their means.
The Lawrence County community is buzzing with excitement for the winner, who has become a bit of a local celebrity.
The store where he purchased the winning ticket will receive a $20,000 bonus for selling the lucky ticket.
