Man wins the lottery for the sixth time
(WABNEWS) – A lucky man from South Carolina claimed his second lottery prize just days apart.
The big winner, who is from the Grand Strand, claimed a $ 40,000 prize on July 16 and then a $ 3 million prize on July 27. He bought the two Mega Millions Quick Pick tickets at a Murphy USA gas station in Myrtle Beach, the South Carolina Education Lottery said in a statement Wednesday.
The now-millionaire usually does his shopping at a nearby Walmart and usually stops by Murphy USA to play the lottery, he told lottery officials.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “My family was shocked when I gave them the news.”
In both cases, the jackpot was lost by just one number. Still, he’s a lucky guy.
“The odds of winning $ 40,000 playing Mega Millions are 1 in 931,001, and the odds of winning $ 3 million are approximately 1 in 13 million,” said the South Carolina Education Lottery.
