Two Years, Two $10 Million Wins
In a remarkable twist of fate, Wayne Murray managed to achieve the seemingly impossible by winning $10 million in scratch-off lotteries in both 2022 and 2023. What makes his story even more astonishing is that he accomplished this feat with relatively modest ticket purchases.
Playing for the Love of the Game
Murray's latest win came from purchasing two tickets for the New York Lottery 200X game, each costing him $30. To his amazement, these tickets turned his modest investment into a life-changing $10 million payday. Opting for a lump sum payment, he walked away with $6,122,400.
Defying the Odds
The odds of winning the lottery twice in consecutive years are incredibly slim. It's statistically more likely to be struck by a meteorite than to achieve this extraordinary feat. For context, the odds of winning the Black Titanium jackpot are 1 in 3.53 million, and for the 200X jackpot, they are 1 in 3.64 million.
A Man of Luck
Interestingly, Murray kept his initial 2022 win a secret, only recently revealing his extraordinary run of luck. Alongside his lottery wins, he also inherited a property in 2021, adding to his three years of incredible fortune. While Murray's future plans remain a mystery, one can't help but wonder if he will continue to defy the odds and share his luck with the world.
