A North Carolina man named Pharris Frank grabbed headlines last week by winning a million-dollar lottery prize for the second time in his life. The lucky player has won $3 million dollars so far and says it’s all because he had a feeling that he should play.
Pharris was already a millionaire when he felt the need to buy a second lottery ticket while working in a town near his home.
The 41-year-old says that both the first and second time he played, he had the feeling that he would win a big prize if he bought a lottery ticket.
Deciding to heed that sentiment, the man went to a nearby gas station and decided to buy a Diamond Dazzle game lottery ticket, which costs $20.
Pharris had only a one in 1,528,470 chance of winning the $2 million jackpot… and he did win it.
Earlier in 2021, when he also had a feeling he was going to win a big prize, he decided to buy a ticket to the Extreme Cash game, which cost him $25. On that occasion he took. a prize of $1 million dollars.
“It’s crazy because the day before I won (the second time), a friend was asking me how it felt to win $1 million. I told him I was going to fold it. I didn’t know if he was dreaming or not,” said the lucky winner.
“I was in shock for a while. I called my wife and said ‘I did it again’. The first time I won it was two miles from my house and this time four and a half hours,” she added.
