Sep 29 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Ernest Pullen is sure one hell of a lucky guy! And that is because he has managed to win the lottery twice and that too, in the space of just 3 months.

The Missouri inhabitant won the lottery for the first time in June on a “100 Million Dollar Blockbuster” Scratchers ticket. And then in September he again won $2 million on a “Mega MONOPOLY” Scratchers ticket. And thus he also became the first Missouri inhabitant who has won at least $1 million on a Scratchers ticket more than one time.

After his first win, the 57 year old shifted his residence from Pevely to Bonne Terre. He also said very candidly that he had dreamt about the second win.

After his epic second win, he said that, “All the numbers I dreamed about, and all my lucky numbers, were on the card.” “My wife said she’s winning the next time,” he added.

After their lottery wins, the couple wanted cash payment for the ticket. Thus for the first time they got $700,000 and for the second lottery win they managed to get a whooping $1.3 million after all the requisite tax deductions.
