Oct. 11 (UPI) -- A Virginia man who won $200,000 in a lottery drawing scored a $100,000 jackpot from the same drawing just four months later.

James Peterson of Hampton bought two identical tickets for the Virginia Lottery's Cash 5 drawing in June and each ticket ended up winning him a $100,000 top prize.
