In a truly extraordinary stroke of luck, Brooklyn resident Wayne Murray has managed to achieve the seemingly impossible—winning a $10 million jackpot for the second time in just one year. Murray, whose initial fortune came from a lottery win last year, has now struck gold with a massive win on a New York Lottery scratch-off game.

Choosing to keep a low profile despite his historic double win, Murray, when asked about his recent success, commented, “Some of us just like to be discreet. I just want to be discreet, that’s all it is.” The humble winner opted for a single lump sum payment of $6,122,400 after withholdings as part of his most recent jackpot victory.

Both of Murray’s remarkable wins occurred with tickets purchased from the same H&A Gas & Convenience store located at 4102 Ave. H in Brooklyn. Remarkably, each winning ticket cost $30, proving to be a small investment for the immense wealth he now enjoys.

Clerk Hassan Nabil, familiar with Murray’s regular visits to the gas station, shared insights into the winner’s character, stating, “Twice in a row — what are the odds? You can’t even think about it. It’s not comprehensible.” Nabil commended Murray’s down-to-earth nature, emphasizing that the newfound fortune hasn’t altered Murray’s friendly and generous demeanor. “Money changes a lot of people, but he doesn’t show off or anything. He keeps it real, keeps it honest. It’s a game for him, so he just keeps playing. If you win, you just want to win more.”

Murray’s neighbor, Constance Bryane, expressed surprise at the revelation of Murray’s wealth, describing him as “very humble.” The community is in awe of Murray’s exceptional lottery luck, with many eager to congratulate him on this remarkable double win.’
