LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Most people dream of winning the lottery once. Braxton Skaggs did it twice in five months.
Skaggs, from Campbellsville, Kentucky, recently won nearly $58,000 playing the Bluegrass Bucks Hot Hit Jackpots Instant Play game, just months after taking home $30,000 on another ticket.
He said he hadn’t played much since his last win until his mom hit $3,000 playing online. A few days later, he decided to give it another try.
With only $150 left in his account, Skaggs wagered $5 and hit the jackpot.
"I was more excited about this one than I was the first one," he told lottery officials.
He said the winnings will help him build his first home.
