In Massachusetts, a man has hit the jackpot for the second time in four years.
It seems that lightning never strikes twice in the same place. This popular adage falls apart after the incredible story told by American media including Framingham Source and CNN. Stephen Toto, a resident of Massachusetts, USA, just won the lottery for the second time in four years. Each time he won the million dollar prize.
He hadn’t planned on playing
It all started on a fall day in 2017. This very lucky man living in Framingham, a town about 40 kilometers from Boston, scratches a lottery ticket and sees the win of a million dollars. At the time, he planned to use part of his earnings to buy a car. The story of this winner could have ended there without an incredible combination of circumstances on June 21.

While he had no intention of playing that day, he finally tries his luck in another scratch game. Bis repetita, the result is the same as it was four years ago: a million dollars more in his bank account. To receive the jackpot in one go, the American blessed by the gods chose the Cash option which, for lack of being less important, is quickly received. Stephen Toto pocketed all the same $ 650,000 before taxes (in the United States, winnings from games of chance are taxable, note). His happiness is also that of the establishment in which he bought his scratch ticket since the shop will receive a bonus of 10,000 dollars, announces the site of the Massachusetts lottery.
We very much wish this British couple, who came close to the 210 million euros jackpot last March, not to be aware of this story.
