A Missouri lottery winner who picked up a six-figure jackpot in 2024 has just done it again. The mystery Kansas City man bagged a $242,000 Show Me Cash Prize in a draw on March 26, having already netted $200,000 before. “The first time I won, I said I’d never win it again,” he said, according to a news release from MOLottery. “I continued to play but only when the jackpot got over $200,000.” The lottery firm revealed that he’d won the cash after buying a ticket that matched all five of that night’s numbers, 17, 20, 25, 30, and 39. “I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me!’” he said. “I couldn’t believe I won the first time. I guess anything’s possible.” Who the lucky winner really is and what they plan to do with their newfound wealth has not been revealed. It’s not totally unheard of. Last year, a couple from Wales in the U.K., Richard Davies, 49, and Faye Stevenson-Davies, 43, won their second EuroMillions prize worth around $1 million in the space of seven years.
