SOUTH ROCKWOOD, Mich. (CNN) — When most can’t manage to get a $20 return on a scratch off, one Michigan man walked away with $4 million … TWICE!!
“You don’t think you’ll win millions once, and you definitely never think it would happen twice,” said Mark Clark, of South Rockwood, Michigan, after his latest win this month.
“It’s hard to put into words exactly what I am feeling.”
Clark is 50. His good luck story begins three years ago.
At the time, he delivered fuel to a gas station in Hudson, Michigan. He bought an instant game lottery ticket and scratched off the bar code. The ticket said to see the clerk — and so he did.

For personal safety reasons, I wouldn’t be putting my name out there. Definitely put my photos.
Not very lucky: everyone now knows his name and face. He’d better make plans to move to a different place. Every huckster, and relatives he didn’t know he had, will be after him.
You don’t have to tell anyone, the government will publicize it.
There are just a few where anonymity is possible.
$4.7 after taxes.
Good for him but he’s still a luck sucker they just suck all the luck away from you.

Then there was this story from 2018:

The state auditor at the time,a Republican,said that the only thing worse for him would have been if his own mother had won.
It turns out that Bulger had heard of someone in the neighborhood who owned the winning ticket and made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
I won 5000 once on a scratch-off. And it only cost me about 15,000 through the years :-).. I’m a shrewd investor!

I never won that much money on a ticket...
This guy was a good investor...He probably didn’t spend too much money on tickets before he won his first $4 million...
I think banks have a way to know where else you bank, through their well-connected network. So wave that anonymity goodbye.
But most definitely yes, tell NO ONE, not ever your spouse.
I think it would be fun to do anonymous good deeds for deserving people who would never know who did it. As for my lifestyle, I’m the type who wouldn’t change anything, almost.
How would you know that?
The odds of winning two lotteries means he was probably heavily invested in buying tickets, probably spending tens of thousands over the years. Still a good return, but a foolish risk.
Well, forget it, then. I won’t leave my home and family for less than $8 million. *SNORT* :)

True indeed...
But, in this case, I don’t think he spent $4 million on lottery tickets before he won his first $4 million prize...That’s what I was thinking about...
