Chicago-area man wins $1.3 million Lotto jackpot — his 2nd win in 15 years – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports | Fort Lauderdale

CHICAGO (WSVN) — The chances of winning the lottery are already slim, but an Illinois man pulled off a win twice in 15 years.

The Chicago-area player won $1.3 million dollars in the June 11 drawing of the state’s Lucky Day Lotto.

He used a quick pick ticket — just like when he won $45,000 over 15 years ago.

The big winner, who chose to remain anonymous, said this second jackpot will help him buy a new home and retire.
