Man wins $2M after buying 2 identical lottery tickets by accident
A man in Massachusetts became $2 million richer after buying two $1 million-winning lottery tickets, all by accident, according to Powerball. Paul Corcoran, from Finchburg, participated in the July 9 Powerball drawing, but with one unusual, unplanned twist -- he bought one ticket for seven drawings, but then "mistakenly thought the final drawing on that ticket already occurred," so he then purchased another ticket for the same drawing, Powerball said in a press release on Tuesday. This lucky mistake led to Corcoran winning two $1 million prizes for the same drawing, according to lottery officials. "Both Powerball tickets matched all five white balls drawn that night," officials said. Corcoran claimed his prize of $2 million -- the amount before taxes -- at the Massachusetts State Lottery's Dorchester headquarters on July 11, officials said.

Each store will receive a $10,000 bonus for their sale of these winnings tickets, Powerball said in a statement to ABC News. According to Powerball, the overall odds of winning one prize in a drawing are 1 in 24.9, but the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.

"Shocked" Massachusetts woman thought she won $10,000 on a lottery ticket. Her actual prize was much bigger.
A Worcester woman thought she had scratched a $10,000 winner on a Massachusetts State Lottery ticket, but it turns out that she won a whole lot more. The Lottery said Michelle Sloan came to the agency's Worcester regional office to turn in her winning "$2,000,000 Diamond Cashword" ticket. But she was told there that she had to go to Lottery headquarters in Boston to claim her prize because she actually had won $1 million. "I was positive it was only ten grand," Sloan said in a statement shared by the Lottery. "I just can't believe it. I'm still so shocked!" Sloan chose the cash option on the prize, taking home a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes. She said she is planning to use the money to invest and help her children. Sloan bought the lucky ticket at the Village Knoll Variety store in Millbury. The store gets a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. $2,000,000 Diamond Cashword is a $10 game that offers a 1 in 3.26 chance of winning any prize. The odds of winning $1 million are 1 in 2,520,000, and the odds of winning the $2 million grand prize are 1 in 5,040,000. There are seven $1 million prizes and four $2 million prizes yet to be claimed in the game. Earlier this week, the Lottery shared the story of a Fitchburg man who made a lucky mistake in buying two Powerball tickets. He ended up winning $1 million on each.
