    Atlanta man wins $1 million lottery for second time in three years

    Two-time lottery winner Delma Kinney

    A man in Atlanta has hauled in a million-dollar lottery payday for the second time in just three years.

    Delma Kinney, 50, recently won a $1 million dollar prize playing the instant game Super Millions. In 2008, Kinney also won $1 million playing another instant game.

    Kinney is a single father of three, who set aside part of his original lottery winnings to establish a college education fund for his children. Kinney says he plans to donate part of his new winnings to charity.

    Just a week shy of his 51st birthday, Kinney says he purchased the winning lottery ticket at a local Chevron Food Mart when he headed out to grab some over-the-counter medications to help him cope with a head cold.

    "I was just out and stopped for cold medicine," Mr Kinney told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I sat in the car with the ticket, and when I saw the matching numbers, I knew," he explained.

    The odds of Kinney winning the lottery were one in 5,040,000 but there are no exact calculations of the odds for winning a million dollar lottery twice.

      Winners are made from the INSIDE.
      You are a winner when you genuinely feel like one first.

      Delma Kinney CONGRATS. put it to good use. enjoy your retirement. don't listen to the negative replies on this blog. Help others sparingly. First, look out for you and your's. And consider giving some to Obama's re-election because the dummies don't know it but I believe it is for for their own good.

      My favorite lotto story was the guy who was divorced, and the DAY his wife REMARRIED, he hit the 320 million dollar lottery, and since she remarried he did not have to pay any more alimony!

        You shouldn't buy lottery tickets in the first place--it's immoral. It's a form of gambling. Doesn't your church teach you this?

      He and Joan Ginther (the Texas woman who won the lottery 4 times, most recently this past Sept.) ought to get together and have a few drinks...with me...then hit the casino...again, with me. Maybe some of their luck will rub off.

      Why must a lottery winner come forward in name and in person? He is pushed out there to possibly be a crime target by some desperate criminal. Some winner in Florida named Shakespear was murdered after winning the jackpot. You would think the States would learn and give winners the option of remaining annonomous.

      Glad he was smart enough to put part of his winnings aside. Good for him. Look at all the lottery winners and professional athletes who squandor every penny the have. Never could figure out why they do that.
