May 10 (UPI) -- A Virginia man who won $177,777 from a scratch-off lottery ticket is no stranger to windfalls -- he won $1 million from the lottery in 2016.

Wailon Jordan of Chesapeake told Virginia Lottery officials he bought his Sizzling Hot 7s ticket from the same Mini Mart where he bought his winning $1,000,000 bankroll ticket in October 2016.

Jordan said he bought both tickets from the same cashier.

The twice-lucky winner said he is thinking about using some of his latest jackpot to buy a motorcycle.
