JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — According to an old adage, lightning never strikes the same place twice. However, Munib Garvanovic may be the right person to dispute the old saying.
Only three years after winning $1 million with a scratch-off, Garvanovic struck gold twice with another scratch-off grand prize.
Munib Garvanovic, 56, goes to the same Gate store on Monument Road every day and buys a scratch-off. Three years ago, he won $1 million from the Gold Rush Doubler scratch-off. However, he continued to play his lucky station.
Three years after his initial victory, Garvanovic won $5 million from the 200X The Cash scratch-off game. He chose the lump-sum payment of $4.45 million.
“I love playing the Lottery at my local Gate store! Every November I play my favorite Scratch-Off games because I feel it brings me extra luck,” Garvanovic said. “This is the second time in three years that this store has made me a winner!”
The Gate store will receive $10,000 for selling the winning ticket.
