Eck said he bought an old truck with a broken odometer stuck at 82,466 miles, so he uses the numbers 8-2-4-6-6 to play the lottery every day.
The numbers came up in the Oct. 14 drawing, earning Eck a $25,000 prize.
Eck previously won $50,000 from a Bonus Match 5 drawing in 1995 and $100,000 from a scratch-off ticket in 2008.
"This is my bronze medal, but I am still happy," Eck said of his latest winnings.
The winner said his prize money will go toward paying off bills.
