Man Wins $10 Million Lottery Jackpot – for the Second Time
In an extraordinary stroke of luck, Wayne Murray has emerged victorious in the New York Lottery’s 200X scratch-off game, securing a $10 million jackpot for the second time.
This incredible win comes just 16 months after his initial triumph in the Black Titanium scratch-off game. Murray, opting for a lump sum payment, will take home $6,122,400 from his recent windfall.
Remarkably, both winning tickets were purchased at the same H & A Gas & Convenience store in Brooklyn.
Expressing his sentiments after the first win, Murray shared, “It feels very humbling and liberating.” The odds of winning the 200X scratch-off game are 1 in 3.5 million, while the Black Titanium game boasts odds of 1 in 3.6 million, according to lottery officials. The New York Lottery’s scratch-off games have achieved substantial success, accumulating over $4.4 billion in sales during the past fiscal year.
Notably, the proceeds from these games contribute significantly to aiding school districts across New York City boroughs, with over $1 billion allocated in the same period. Murray’s rare double victory adds an extraordinary chapter to the lottery’s history of life-changing wins.
