A man in North Carolina who won the $1 million lottery nearly two years ago, has repeated his luck with a second lottery win of $2 million.
Pharris Frank, 41, from Davie County, recently purchased the $20 Diamond Dazzler scratch-off from Handy House located at Arendell Street in Morehead City, according to a press release issued by the North Carolina Education Lottery.
Frank called his wife after realizing he had won saying, "I did it again," the press release reported.
