I thought it was weird too.

He put the second prize straight into savings ...

The taxes on the two prizes are a bit odd. For the first one, last year for $2 million, the tax withheld was 40%. The second one, this year for $1 million, the tax withheld was 57.5%.

By Kate Northrop

Most players can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to win a million dollars, but one North Carolina man is lucky enough to have experienced the exciting feeling twice after winning two $1 million prizes in the span of one year.

Willard Weber's lucky streak is running a little bit longer after he won not one, but two prizes worth $1 million within one year. The last time the Littleton resident picked... [ More ]
