So nice, he played them twice.
A man who accidentally bought two identical lottery tickets wound up collecting twice.
Mario Loza of Virginia didn't realize he bought two tickets with the exact same numbers, 5-7-15-21-31, at an Arlington 7-Eleven store, he told lottery officials.
He cashed in one of the winning tickets after hitting the $100,000 prize in the Aug. 27 drawing of the Cash 5 game, according to UPI.
Two days later, Loza realized he had a second winning ticket, and he turned it in to win another $100,000.
Loza says his newfound riches will help him pay off his bills and fund his retirement.
