Another possibility is that they bought a bunch of winning tickets, including two jackpot winners, from people who didn't want to claim the prizes themselves. The chances of the same retailer selling two jackpots is still fairly low (though vastly higher than the chances that your PB ticket will win the next jackpot), but buying winning tickets for a fraction of the prize value can make it...
