Something fishy here. Inside information perhaps? I am going to set a Google Alert for this guy.
I wonder how many of his other tickets won something?...................
With scratch tickets you can go online and find out how many of the tickets have “hit” and how many tickets are left of that specific type.
I don’t think you can see “where” they are in a particular state, but viewing a list of winners, that is not difficult.
At some point, it becomes almost a mathematical certainty that you will get the ticket, if you buy enough of them.
This happens in any lottery situation. Mathematially possible does not mean that my wife would allow ME to cash in all of our assets to buy a thousand scratch offs.
Likely weekly state tallies of winners and how many outstanding is available.
Anyone could have done this.

Same last name... similar scratch-off and prize... twice!
