Gilbert said second chance drawings have paid off for him in the past.
"In May 2016, I won $10,000 in the Second Chance drawing," Gilbert said. "So, when I told a friend of mine that I'd won $50,000 this time, he decided to start calling me 'Re-Pete!'"
Gilbert said he is hoping to turn his luck into a "three-Pete" by winning Mega Millions or Powerball.
"Winning this prize is not life-changing," he said, "but it is life affirming."
