Two-Time Lottery Winner Spends Up to $500 on Tickets Every Day: Report

“He diversifies—buying different types of tickets to find more possibilities of winning,” a clerk at his favorite convenience store said.

A New York City man who won not one, but two $10 million prizes on scratch-off lottery tickets is still grinding away at the games, purchasing up to $500 worth of new tickets every day, a convenience store clerk near Wayne Murray’s Brooklyn home told the New York Post. The tabloid even snapped a photo of Murray making one of his regular purchases, reaching across the counter for yet another scratch-off ticket. “He’s still buying tickets almost every day, sometimes twice or thrice a day,” Hassan Nabil, a clerk at H&A Gas & Convenience on Avenue H in Brooklyn, said. “He diversifies—buying different types of tickets to find more possibilities of winning.” Lightning already struck twice for the lucky New Yorker—once in August 2022 on a $10 million Black Titanium ticket and another $10 million stroke of luck last December that came in the form of a 200x scratch-off.
