BEAUFORT, SC -- Harold Gray one time lived on Lottery Lane -- now he's a two-time lottery winner.

Gray won the top $100000 prize Tuesday after buying a scratch- distant from lottery ticket in Beaufort shire The windfall came exactly 20 days after Gray won the $250000 top prize in a different scratch- against game.

"Hey, at least it's not a doctor or a lawyer with all the coin Poor people are getting near of it, too," said Gray, a self- occupyed contractor.

After beating the 360000-1 supernumerarys of winning the big prize Tuesday, Gray said he went abiding-place and gave his wife the ticket to celebrate her 39th birthday.

"She couldn't believe it. It freaked me public too," Gray said. "I had to move home and take a little medication to calm me down."

After the first win, Gray planned to preserve his job and pay not upon his bills. Now that the bills are gone the novel prize will go to corrupt a house, said Gray, who plans to continue working for a few single out clients.

And Gray has an interesting theory about the source of his accident "I feel like I have a horseshoe stuck up my behind," he said.
