What are the odds, 1st of winning this New York State scratch off prize of 10 million? 1 in 9.5 million. The odds of winning the same prize twice in 3 years?

He took the lump sum on both, so 20 million won became 13 million net & he should leave town by this Friday. You keep scratching & thanks for stopping by.
