Willard Weber of Littleton bought a new $30 Millionaire Maker scratch-off ticket last week, and he is the first person to win the big prize.
Weber purchased the ticket at the Information Grocery on U.S. Highway 158 in Halifax.
“I never thought it would ever happen to me,” he said. "I couldn’t believe it was the exact same number I hit on last time, either.”
Back in August 2020, Weber and a co-worker, Dean Glover of Littleton, split a $4 million Ruby Red 7s top prize.
Weber bought an antique convertible with his winnings back then, but this time, he said he plans to put his $424,509 in prize money in the bank.
