“Man accidentally buys 2 tickets and wins”
A forgetful Maryland man accidentally bought two identical tickets for the same lottery draw — and scored two $500,000 prizes for a total of $1 million.
The Prince George’s county man said he bought the same numbers each week.
He was at a laundromat on Aug. 18 and couldn’t recall whether he had already bought a ticket for the Aug. 20 Powerball drawing, so he bought a ticket just in case.
The man later returned home and discovered he had indeed already purchased an identical ticket for the same draw earlier in the week.
Then his ticket won.
“To look my wife in the eye and say I had a $500,000 win was good. It was really good to say I had a million,” he said. “It was truly an unbelievable moment!”
The winner said his prize money will allow him to help his children and grandchildren.
