This man won million-dollar lotteries twice—now his wife has won $1 million too. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Phillips, now 61, won his two prizes in 2014 and 2016 after buying $10 and $5 scratch-off tickets, respectively, while Pflaumer-Phillips, 59, paid $30 for her winning "Diamond Millions" ticket at an auto repair shop in Middleborough, Mass. that she and Kevin have been buying lottery tickets regularly for the past 20 years. While the couple did not specify how often they buy tickets, if they spend $15 each week, that would equal about $15,600 over two decades.
After Phillips won his second million-dollar prize, Massachusetts Lottery said in a press release that he chose to receive his winnings in a single one-time payment of $650,000 and planned to use some of that money to fund a trip to Disney World. Pflaumer-Phillips says she will donate some of the money to animal rescue organizations, plus, "it feels good to help family and friends and to know that he can retire," Pflaumer-Phillips told the Globe, referring to her husband.
