The man bought his ticket from Empire Foods in Allen Park.
"I'm not the type of guy to get real worked up over anything," he said. "When I realized I had won the jackpot again, my first question was: 'Am I the only winner?'"
"After I went up to the store and found out I was the only winner, I felt pretty happy," he said.
The man is no stranger to lottery payouts -- he won a $105,000 Fantasy 5 jackpot on March 7 of this year, and a $499,907 jackpot from a Nov. 25, 2009, drawing.
"I was pretty excited with the first one, but I try not to get too worked up," the man said. "I'll stash this money away and let it help me with my bills and retirement."
