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.

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.

Paul Corcoran of Fitchburg, Massachusetts took home $2 million after accidentally purchasing an extra Powerball ticket last week.

With her winnings, the lucky winner plans to start college funds for her grandchildren, make home repairs and take her family to Disney.

“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.

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.
