A North Carolina man who won $ 5,000 with a scratch-off lottery ticket said he was “extremely happy and surprised” to learn he’d won another $ 100,000 just two weeks later.
Henry Harvey II, a store manager from Spring Lake, won the second prize after buying a $ 25 Extreme Cash ticket. He bought it from the same Circle K store where he bought the $ 5,000-winning ticket two weeks earlier for $ 10.
“It was a shock,” ハーヴェイ told lottery officials. “まだです!”
Harvey took home $ 70,757 after federal and state taxes. He said he planned to “stick it in the bank.”
Winning the lottery twice happens more often than you might think.
先月, a man from Littleton, ノースカロライナ州, won a million-dollar prize for a second time within the past year. 今年の初め, a woman in Idaho won a $ 300,000 宝くじ賞, then a $ 200,000 賞 the next day.
