Man wins multimillion lottery jackpot for 2nd time


TALLAHASSEE, Florida (AP) — A U.S. man who won a multimillion-dollar jackpot playing the Florida Lotto has done it again.

The Florida Lottery says 67-year-old James Bozeman Jr. has claimed a $3 million jackpot from the drawing held on Aug. 31, 2013.

Last year, Bozeman claimed a $10 million jackpot.

He purchased both winning tickets from the same convenience store.

Bozeman says he started using a different set of numbers since the last time he won and is looking forward to picking a third lucky set for the next drawing.

He has chosen to receive his latest winning in annual payments of $100,000 for the next 30 years.
