"If you're not playing 2nd Chance, you're missing out," the lucky winner said. "It cuts your odds of winning the Top Prize by about half."

Paul previously collected $250,000 from from a Thrilling Crossword scratch-off ticket in March 2017.

The winner, who collected his prize Wednesday at lottery headquarters, said he plans to continue playing he lottery in search of further jackpots.
