Rocca chose the lump sum option for his prize and received a one-time payment of $650,000.
Lottery officials said Rocca previously won a $1 million jackpot from the $1,000,000 Draw instant ticket game in May 2000. He chose to take the full prize amount in annual installments, receiving his final payment in May 2020 -- one year before winning his second jackpot.
