Missouri man wins lottery twice

Ernest Pullen of Bonne Terre, Missouri has done the unthinkable and has won the lottery twice. Not three months after winning $1 million, Pullen won another $2 million this month.

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 , said he considers himself to be a "lucky guy."

John Wells of the Missouri Lottery said the chances of winning $1 million in the "$100 Million Dollar Blockbuster" game are 1 in 2.28 million. The odds of winning $2 million in "Mega MONOPOLY" are about the same.

The chances of winning both? Because they're independent games, it is impossible to calculate the odds of winning, Wells said.
