Jan. 14 (UPI) —<\/span> A Pennsylvania man won a $1 million prize from a scratch off lottery ticket — marking his fourth major lottery jackpot since 1999.<\/p>\n Mike Luciano, 55, of Altoona, confirmed he scored a $1 million prize from a $20 scratch-off ticket Jan. 6, the fourth time he has visited Pennsylvania Lottery headquarters to collect a major prize.\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n Luciano previously won a $500,000 lottery prize in January 2021, a $3 million prize from a scratch-off ticket in 2016 and a $100,000 prize from a Cash 5 drawing in 1999.<\/p>\n Luciano said after collecting his 2021 prize that his good luck comes from spending a large amount of money — he declined to say exactly how much — every week.<\/p>\n “I’m convinced no one wins this many times without playing more than they should,” Luciano told the Altoona Mirror in 2021. “I’m addicted to it.”<\/p>\n He cautioned others not to attempt to replicate his feat.<\/p>\n “People shouldn’t do what I do,” he said. “I don’t want them to think — I mean, I’m not ungrateful, this is unbelievable and I couldn’t be more thankful it’s happening to me — but I don’t want people to think it will happen to them.”\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mike Luciano, of Altoona, Pa., collected a $1 million prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket — his fourth major lottery jackpot since 1999.
