Massachusetts man wins two $1 million lotteries in 18 months

A lottery player in Massachusetts has won his second one million dollar prize in 18 months, Fox News reported.

Rolf Rhodes got lucky a second time from a "$4,000,000 Instant Jackpot" scratch-off game purchased at a gas station in Mendon.

The Massachusetts State Lottery says Rhodes chose the annuity option and received the first of 20 annual payments of $50,000 (before taxes).

The man won his first million-dollar prize in the "Hit $1,000" instant game. He took a one-time payment and received 650,000 U.S. dollars after taxes.
