RALEIGH, N.C. — A Concord, North Carolina man says he’s in disbelief after buying a $1 million lottery ticket for the second time in two years.
“What are the odds of this happening?” Terry Splawn said. “I can’t believe I won the lottery not once, but twice!”
Splawn won for the first time in April of 2017 when he bought a Millionaire Bucks ticket from Sam’s Mini Stop on Old Charlotte Road in Concord.
Terry Splawn has won a $1 million prize twice in two years.
On Wednesday, he was fortunate enough to win again after buying a $150 Million Cash Explosion scratch-off ticket from the same establishment.
“I was surprised,” Splawn said. “I couldn’t believe I hit again. I just thought, ‘This can’t be happening.’”
After paying state and federal taxes, Spawn pocketed $424,506. He chose a lumps sum instead of annuity that consisted of 20 payments of $50,000 a year.
“My wife spent most of the last prize remodeling our home,” Splawn said. “I’m keeping this one. I’m going to put it aside for a rainy day.”
We think he should invest in more lottery tickets.
