A big lottery winner
 August 11, 2009, 7:26 am (2 years ago)A 47-year-old Kansas lery player Edward Williams won an incredible amount of cash prize on the lottery. This turned out to be his second big win in a year, according to Earth Times.
Last September, Wichita resident Williams took home $75,000 by a $10 scratch ticket. Then on Wednesday, he went against the odds again when he matched all the numbers in the Super Kansas Cash drawing to get a jackpot of around $900,000.
“When I won $75,000, I figured lighting struck once, it won’t ever hit again,” Williams explained in a prepared comment introduced by Kansas Lottery officials. “This one knocked me flat!”
He went to Topeka to get his huge win in a single cash bullet payment. $627,541 will be in his pocket after the taxes are taken.
“When I won the $75,000, I purchased a car and put the remaining of the prize into a CD,” Williams explained. “This time, I’m saving it for retirement, which I hope to do at 55.”
