“LUCKY” IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

It happened to a man from Bonne Terre, Mo., Missouri Lottery officials said Tuesday. Ernest Pullen, 57, won $1 million with a “100 Million Dollar Blockbuster Scratchers” ticket in June. And this month, he won $2 million with a “Mega MONOPOLY” Scratchers ticket.

Pullen, a retired military man who was working at the help desk for a telecommunications company before retiring after the first lottery win, said he considers himself to be a “lucky guy.”

You think?

Pullen plans to use the money to fix up his new house, which needs a new lakeside wall.

As for the Lottery, he figures he’s about used up his luck, though he still might play the big jackpots on Powerball and Mega Millions.
